I think it’s YOUR party, and YOU have the right to have whoever YOU want there. You have no obligation to anyone else. You do NOT have to say yes to him being there. Especially since he hasn’t been awesome to you. It’s your time, hun.
Thanks, lady! It made me feel better to hear this. Alas, I found a really nice way to say it to her and then she told me she had already invited him…. blargh. Hope you are doing well!

That sucks :( I used to have friends like that. I would literally have to wait alone while they were getting nasty with some guy. sigh. Or even worse she would leave me with his friend I didn’t like :/ It sucks. Hope u figure something out!
Ugh sorry. Some people just don’t think about others! It’s really uncomfortable to wait alone or with someone you find threatening! But you said “used to” so maybe they aren’t in your life anymore which is good? This friend is moving away and it is probably the best thing that could happen to our friendship because she is pretty good at virtually keeping in touch but she fails at being there in person so i’m always the one trying and it’s just like, i do NOT have the energy for this! Thanks for your replies *hug*

I don’t know a nice way to say it to her, but I feel like you’re totally within the right to say that it’s your birthday party and you only want the people you invited to attend.
thanks! i feel like it too…. especially since it takes so much out of me to do this, but she doesn’t get that, even when i have tried to explain

If it was all girls you have invited, you could play it off like, it’s an all girls kinda thing. If not, just say nobody is bringing bf/gf’s
thanks for the reply! i should do more all-girl things in the future, since i don’t really have guy friends anyway. on occasion, we have tried to have all girl nights and go out somewhere, but this same friend always ends up talking with some guy and leaving me awkwardly somewhere
so i am going to have a birthday get-together in a few days and it’s not going to be very big because i don’t really have that many friends/they are more than i can keep up with as it is. i want it to be people i know because wow major social anxiety and that’s hard enough with people i know well. also i was going to cook for them (i think i bit off more than i can chew) i invited a friend (known 12 years, close for 8) who, even though i did not put ‘guests may invite friends’ as an option or anything, asked if she could bring her boy-toy whatever. he’s leaving soon so they will not be whatever for much longer and because of him i haven’t seen her in a long time.
see it’s just… it’s my birthday party and i’ve met him like twice and he didn’t remember he had met me the second time even though we spent several hours together the first time and i hate it when people are like that. seriously - i know i make quick judgments about things like that… but i don’t like him. i already feel like a nothing enough as it is, i don’t need people around who don’t acknowledge my existence. So why does she need to bring him to this small gathering of my friends when she has made essentially no effort for me to meet him before? i feel like its a “i finally have a boy, i want to show him off” thing… i feel like i’m being super selfish though, and i have to say he can come right? what do i do?
