Chronicles of a Serial Dater

Sean is pissing me off.  I’ve talked about this before.  The latest is he sent out a group invitation to his birthday.  On it is this guy – a friend of his – I slept with years ago.  Let’s just say, he left a traumatic souvenir behind, not forgetting didn’t want to know after he’d got what he wanted.  Aside from his 30th, Sean has never invited me out to his birthday.  I think that’s rude in itself.  I would prioritise him over someone in my group who had treated him like shit.  We don’t speak about it.  But this one is the last straw.

He sent a message earlier in the week referencing the group invitation.  He called it a ’stupendous gaff’ and that he had ‘uninvited the person’.  That makes me seem like a loser whatever way you look at it.  Did I ask him to uninvite  him?  Am I still bitter?  Am I hung up about it this many years later?  What if he doesn’t realise he is uninvited and turns up?   I told him I couldn’t make it and wasn’t comfortable him uninviting people.  How could Sean even make a mistake like that?

He’s just called.  I’m watching The Big Fat Diet Programme.  And I don’t want to talk to him.  So I don’t pick up.  He leaves a message.  Something about how he hopes I’m not ‘hurt’.  All a bit American if you ask me.  Then.  Then he follows with a text.
