SamIam5 Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 I'll try to keep this short and to the point. Background: Dated a girl from church for 7 months. She ended things due to us being too different. I wanted to make things work, she didn't. I walked away with my dignity intact and a sense of self-respect. I removed her from all social media - not out of spite, but so I could move on. Here's the problem...we are both a part of the same social (friend) circle at church. These guys are essentially my closest friends. Since the BU, they've treated me the same. However, they stopped inviting me to get-togethers, parties, etc. For example, earlier this week they threw a Friendsgiving. I believe my ex was invited, but I wasn't. They're also planning a trip...again, ex was invited, but I wasn't. A few days ago they had a get-together (just a bunch of friends hanging out). Again, I was not invited. Part of me feels that it's because they're choosing my ex over me...despite the fact that I've known them for a much longer period of time. Is there something I can do to remedy the situation? Part of me feels like attending a new church and making new friends there. I don't want to "run away," but I also don't want to waste my time with people who call themselves "friends" yet can't be bothered to extend an invitation.
LastAcorn99 Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 This must be really awkward for you -- I can understand. I would suggest that you give your friends some time to get around. In the meantime, why not consider making new friends at your church? Sending you prayers.

Unfortunately, my ex is friends with almost everyone at my current church. You can say she's somewhat of a "social butterfly." I think my best option is to attend another church, and start fresh.
