So, i find out today that the guy who asked me to be his best man (I had to decline) and who would have between my best man, had a birthday party for his daughter, but didn't invite me, my son, or my wife.
I only found this out through a Facebook status his wife put on saying about it, mentioning 14 people. Many of them friends.
When i sent him a text saying i didn't realise it was her birthday he claimed it was just a small family gathering.
Do i have a right to be annoyed?
Feel free to rant about life here.

Sounds like he was bitter about you turning down best man duties. You should totally delete him as a Bookface friend, the following realisation of his err will crush him physically and mentally and ultimate victory will be yours.

Sounds like he may have felt he was asking something beyond your friendship with the best man job and didn't want to seem like a clinging arse by bothering you with other family stuff. I wouldn't take it as a put down at all, probably just someone trying to meet your expectations.
the Older I get it seems your friends seem to be people that don't matter as much as they used to. unless they live next door or you see them all the time at work.
I dont think people make a genuine effort to purposely miss people out of things. And if there is an issue, you would think other people in your circle would say something to you.
I would look on it as a mistake or oversight. If he was close enough to be best man, then maybe tell him how you felt and ask if things are cool between you.
No point in reaching for the flamethrower until you have shit to burn.
Sometimes here. Sometimes Lurk. Occasionally writes a bad opinion then deletes it before posting..
Was a bit drunk when i posted this.
Some answers needed.
I turned down best man duties as u didn't think I'd be able to organise a decent stag do for him.
And he couldn't be my best man as he wasn't able to get the time off work for anything, well, that's what he said. Managed to come to the wedding reception at least.
We go to Eurogamer every year, this year he brought a mate of his, i notice that that mate was invited to this party.

Point of thread is? Facebook has been permanently retired.
Skerret's posting is ok to trip balls to and read just to experience the ambience but don't expect any content. "I'm jealous of sucking major dick!"~ Kernowgaz
Yeah I'd be pissed off too but then I'd be like, so hang on, does this guy really not like me anymore? And have it out with him openly and honestly like adults rather than stewing in suspicion and speculation. Then if he's like "yeah actually I don't like you anymore" then at least you know, and then you move on. After calling him a cunt.
And if says "no man this is a massive misunderstanding here's the reasonable explanation" you can choose to either believe him (BFFs!) or not (FUFs!).
Also, people who call it "Fuckbook" and get upset by it all the time; just delete your profile and do without it! (Not necessarily aimed at Sas)
I find Facebook very useful for keeping in touch as my job means people move every 2 or 3 years, so it's nice to see how colleagues are doing when they go to new places or see who'll be somewhere when I go there for a while. But I I to annoyed with it I'd just get rid of it.
