Worst day ever, let down terribly

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

Sooooo........

I have a friend, that I've met from fab, but we were more friends than anything else, got on well, spent a bit of time together. He's a professional man, good job, decent lifestyle, old fashioned manners, what I thought was an all round decent man.

He needed a plus one to wedding, and last-minute invited me yesterday, for a wedding today.

Nothing in it, just so didn't have to go on his own. I made a massive effort, so I sorted a dress, booked hair and make up this morning, and half an hour before he was due to pick me up let me down.

No explanation, nothing, no crosswords, no reason at all.

It is made me feel horrendous. I made such an effort to be the best me for him, thinking I was doing a decent thing. And it's made me feel horrendous. Gutted and disappointed to the core.

It's not had a bad experience on here, but this has blown it out the water. It's knocked me far more than I ever thought I could be knocked!!! Help!

Strange behaviour of him, but normally in my experience/thoughts of weddings is that you rarely get a plus 1 invited without a name, unless they know you’ve been in a long term relationship but never met the other half.

Maybe he asked if he could change his plus one and they’ve said no, or maybe he’s assumed he had one and he didn’t.

Weddings are cheap and like I’ve said, from experience of friends and family weddings, plus ones are the first to get cut if not serious.

He was an integral part of the wedding and had an open plus one.

It's flattering that he invited me, but surely if he changed his mind he would've contacted me. We've been friends a while, and didn't strike me as the type to behave like that. It's just also strange, I think that's why I'm struggling with it .

Overthinking is going to drive you crazy. Ask him. Perhaps there’s a really simple explanation and you’ll be laughing when you hear it. Perhaps he’s a total dickhead and hearing him make his pathetic excuses will help you see that.

Sending positive vibes, I know it’s hard but try not to Let this get you down.

I agree. It's just weird behaviour to invite you one day then the next go silent,no wonder you're feeling the way you are that's a horrible thing to do. It's not like it was just for coffee,being invited to a wedding is a huge thing.

He had an open invite, hasn't been seeing anyone, and I think was toying with the idea and threw it out there. I'm pretty sure he expected me to say no, when I said yes he went into overdrive. He even text me at 6 o'clock this morning to make sure I was awake in time to get ready.? The mind baffles me

Shocking and disrespectful behaviour! Shame on him that’s all I would say. Your the better person for showing your thoughtful side.

Really feel for you OP. What a horrible way for things to turn out.

There’s no fathoming people sometimes. Don’t be surprised if you hear from him with some sort of explanation. From the little you have told us about him it sounds like it was out of character behaviour. Or maybe this is the real him. If so then probably not the kind of person you’d want in your life.

You’ll have to update us all if you DO hear from him.

How dreadful to be let down after you make so much effort. I do hope he does have a good explanation why things went wrong and apologises big style.

But why was he asking you such short notice ? It all sounds very odd .

You sounded like a last minute decision because the person he did invite was blowing hot and cold and left it last minute to give an an answer.

If he ignored your text he is not worth it.

Block the prick and sever all contact with him. You will probably find he will try and crawl back after the weekend.

He should be embarrassed, anyway he’s had long enough to even try to apologise for his crappy behaviour, if this is the kind of person he is you would be well to forget him sweet, maybe upsetting to do so now but can you trust him not to do something similar again, he’s a grown man not a child, to me there’s no excuse for him.

I can tell how much effort you put into this, and if it was me, I would want an explanation. There may be a good reason, probably beyond his control and he felt embarrassed, which would explain the lack of excuse. I was invited to a friend's wedding years ago and was going to take my bf. However, her fiancées parents, who had offered to pay for the wedding, pulled out at the last minute. My friend was mortified and had to cut numbers of guests very harshly. My ex was quite understanding at the time, and I went without him. So there could be a reason. Though if it was because he had invited someone else as well, coz he was hedging his bets, and chose her, I would have some strong words for him. I bet he never realised how much you put into this.

Some people like playing games.

Some people like having you there hanging.

The fact you've had no explanation or apology makes me suspicious

My guess is he had someone lined up as his plus one, they let him down which is why he asked you (also possibly to make the other person jealous).

They then made up which is why you were then dumped.

You deserve better than this shitty behaviour.

His behaviour is so confusing. Invites you the day before, which if he had a plus 1 like you say, but had nobody to attend with so thought I'll ask my female friend rather than go alone. Makes perfect sense.

Then to ask first thing in the morning and check on you seems to me that he wanted you to come, otherwise why bother asking again.

I think he's panicked last minute. Not excusing it Its a shitty thing to do and you are right let down and upset. But for whatever reason he has panicked last minute. Perhaps it was in case people asked questions. But it's not difficult to say met in a bar of whatever you like. He should have had the decency to at least admit it and apologise.

Hope your ok x
