Would you be OK with being a 5th or in my friends case a 7th wheel?

[Goodwifie]

I've planned a get away with friends to celebrate some 40th birthdays and everyone is coupled up apart from one friend who is single.
We had a group chat that got started up and we were all joking and then she just left the group.
She didn't give a reason for leaving and she hasn't asked for her money back that she'd paid.
I just don't want things to be awkward.

She knew about all the couples coming along and she was still keen to come along.
There's nothing malicious in our intentions.
It's going to be a boozy weekend and the girl likes to drink so hopefully she'll be joining me for a few cocktails.

Honestly nobi couldn't I always hate being part of a group and a group with strong links to other group members would be hard.
However if your comfortable in groups situations I don't feel that them having partners is an issue at all. If it's a special occasion there focus will be on the group and not directly each other. So you would all be involved plenty. While there may be a few questions regarding the lack of a significant other it's just curiosity not I'll feeling. Once past that I think you're be fine

[Goodwifie]

Mate I really hope so.
She knew that everyone else that's going have partners in tow.

[dannyuk]

I think she will be fine it's not like all the couple's are going to ignore each other and go off as couples. It will be group based and she will fit in fine

Being single comes with these kinds of pain.
It's not pleasant.
In fact it can make you feel inside like you just want to break down and cry.

It's that legendary feel when no girlfriend

Don't take it the wrong way. There are no hard feelings about it. It is a mechanism to hide just that.

[Goodwifie]

I've been singled out for not drinking to get drunk on girls nights out. Not with this group of friends but another group and I gave my reason for not drinking because the taxis would've been too expensive. I was actually singled out, targeted and made a joke of, I don't socialize with them anymore. It did hurt my feelings but this friend will never be treated in this way it's going to be a bitch free zone.

[Unit1]

Yeah, it's good, that you don't associate with these kinds of sheep anymore.
that's good but still, if you're single and everyone else has a loving partner (and they make love), the pain of being single still occurs. Hers was that feel when no boyfriend

Here is an example of the pain of being single, wifie. It's real.

How can I get a boyfriend? ↗

[Unit1]

This poor girl is really desperate for a loving relationship. She has a big issue of that feel when no boyfriend.

Why is hard for me to get a boyfriend? ↗

Well, there i have at least proof, that women love men 😍
I love love.

[Elliegirl]

Nope. Not for me anyway. That’s no fun being the only single one in a group of couples.

[FinalVow]

seems rather rude to throw it in someones face that they are alone. Not to mention a bit shallow and pathetic but hey I wouldn't know I am single because I know exactly who I am what I want and what I deserve nothing more nothing less.

[Goodwifie]

She knew that everyone else is partnered up.

[FinalVow]

it isn't about her knowing I am sure she was fine with being solo. I am also sure she was not fine with being made fun of about it.

[Goodwifie]

But none of us made fun of her.
The jokes were more about the fashion that we wore back then and funny photos

[Nivinxus]

Well, would you want to hang out with people when you know you are going to be the target of the majority of jokes when you are all together? That's almost as good as bullying. Way to alienate your friend

[Iron_Man]

Well said

[Goodwifie]

Nah we're not like that.

[Nivinxus]

Then why worry about it? Clearly you know her in and out and she 'understands' your intentions. Besides just because you are not malicious doesn't mean that the other party will perceive it that way.

[MysteriousDarkness]

I never went with friends if I was the extra person. Saying it will be a bozzy weekend comes across as in alcohol being consumed in excess. You should ask her why she left the group chat since you seem to be wondering why.

[Goodwifie]

We're going to the wine region and will be going on a wine tasting Tour.
There will be alcohol involved.
I will not have our kids around to wake me up at the crack of dawn.
It's a party weekend.

[Iron_Man]

No way not ever. Something like that I walk, I don't waste my time in a group like that. That's like the low man on the totem pole they can take you or Leave You. And if you miss a party they don't really care

[Goodwifie]

Nope we'd care for sure.

[Iron_Man]

Why even bother being the bottom of the wheel? you're so far back is that necessary just to be a part of a group? Make your own group

[hahahmm]

You should have ‘girls only’ events for her to participate in

[Goodwifie]

We do that.
We often go out for dinners together.

[hahahmm]

On the getaway trip you should have girls only events too. Otherwise the single will be left out. The other option is to just not invite singles.

[Caaarl]

I would probably pass. Peoe don't want to be the odd person out in a group.

[Laggy]

in that picture, like that I'm sure it must be just awkward

[Tohhru]

who likes awkwardly looking around or pretending to use your phone while couples around you are being lovey dovey together?

[Tohhru]

I forgot about cucks sorry about you guys lol that 1 cuck downvoted me

[pizzalovershouse]

depends if i know all well

[NerdInDenial]

Don’t bother me

[KatherineJ]

I don’t enjoy that

[DanFlingwing]

sure why not
