Dear Amy: Am I wrong to be hurt and insulted? I think she was being very over-sensitive to interpret my comments in such a negative light.
Dear Amy: I’m part of a group of women friends who met in college, 50 years ago.At first, conversation was varied, with personal updates, talk about current events, shared book recommendations, etc.I’m an independent gal with no children.The other women have little interest in my profession, and have even poo-pooed what I do.The responses are either “I let handle that,” or simply blank stares.
I’d appreciate your ideas as to how to decline these invitations, while maintaining the relationships.Dear M: “I’m sorry, I can’t make this visit – but keep me in mind for next time” is a polite way to respond to an invitation you don’t want to accept.People grow apart. Life events – in terms of health, careers, partners, children and various triumphs and losses affect one’s perspective.
I asked to take her and our son out to dinner to celebrate. My son informed me that, while they appreciate the sentiment, they would rather not.
