This is funny. I was SO warm and enthusiastic about a friend of mine's good fortune in having bought a posh summer home that it contributed to ending our relationship. I thought I was genuinely happy for her, going, oh great, sounds wonderful, etc etc. She stops and says, "Well, don't expect an invitation." I didn't think I was hinting for one. She and her partner had parties all the time at their home a few miles away and never invited me, I didn't expect to be asked across the state.
