I’m hurt that my close friend didn’t follow through on my birthday day gift. Do I say something?
I have an old friend since childhood. I actually prefer we stop exchanging birthday gifts because I have a million nieces and nephews and three siblings/siblings-in-law AND their spouses I buy gifts for that she doesn’t have. But she’s into it and I reciprocate. I also find out what she needs/wants and her gifts to me are more hit or miss and she never gives a gift receipt so some things that just didn’t fit/work out in the past were kind of a waste.
ANYWAY, she had said that for my birthday gift this year she wanted to take me out to dinner when she came to town. I picked a place that had a good groupon running so she’d save money. Unfortunately, I had norovirus that night and although we saw each other (she wanted me to come out and look at wedding dresses with her and I didn’t yet know I was sick) the virus hit just as we were about to go for dinner. She didn’t offer to give me the groupon to use with my husband or anything in the future.
Now it’s months later and she came back in town and we went for dinner. I had asked if she still had the groupon and she said she had given it to her parents. We went to a byob place and I brought the wine. She didn’t treat me. I can’t help but feel slighted. I always follow through on gifts for people. This has actually happened to me before with wedding gifts (not talking about people not giving a gift though that happened too lol but people saying they were sending something or wanted to take us out to dinner for our gift and just didn’t, holiday gifts, or people saying they’d pay me back for something but never do. We had a secret santa exchange at work and the gift I drew was like an IOU because the package from Amazon hadn’t arrived in time. That giver never followed through either! Do I just have a sign that says, “please walk all over me” lol? And back to the original story, do I say something to my friend?
