I'm glad to hear that you were able to sort things out with your friends. I have a feeling that things might not go over that well with them. I might end up appearing to be to 'needy' or to 'demanding' if I speak up. I can't take this for much longer, so I will speak up. I'll try to be as nice as possible though.
Since I was mostly ignored when I nicely asked if someone else could plan things for our mutual friends birthday, no one apologized for anything. Only toe dominate woman said she'd plan things and the woman who has a birthday coming up said that she'd ;let up know when she comes back to the area soon.
