It was around my birthday, and one of my best mates wives puts this big post up on Facebook saying how excited she is to be going to Bali with her friends and family and tagged a heap of people in the post, one being her husband's ex. Hubby and I knew absolutely nothing about this, although being considered family and consider them as family. We will call her "Karen", and will call the husband "Simon", so anyway, Karen and Simon were over for dinner 2 months prior, and Karen was bawling her eyes out to me saying how much they're going to miss us as we were moving interstate a couple of weeks later, that we are family, blah blah blah. Then this happens. We see the post. We are offended we were completely excluded. Not even a second thought. I text Karen, saying "thanks for the invite". She responds, realising I'm talking about Bali, then proceeds to tell me that everyone invited themselves. Yet Simon's ex immediately commented on the initial post that she had been approved for time off work to go. I wasn't an ass about it, Karen asked me if we wanted to be added to the list, I said no, it's principal. Our ENTIRE friendship is going and knew about it, except for us! So fast forward through the texting, I was supportive, didn't speak about that part of it anymore, Karen said it was just meant to be a holiday for her and her husband, so I reassured her that she isn't obligated to have a bunch of people come along, blah blah. I told Karen it's all good, hubby and I have booked to go to Thailand, for just us. Then put a post on Facebook along the lines of "So excited to be going to Thailand, absolutely no self invitees allowed!" One of my friends Karen doesn't know caught wind of all of this so decided to post on my wall that she's really excited for our Thailand trip. Karen texts me and says she saw we aren't going alone, but it's none of her business, have fun regardless. She then tells me the group is now 30 going to Bali, and again, remember we knew absolutely nothing about it until we saw the fb post. So I wrote back to her saying that I forgot to tell her that like 20 people just invited themselves to Thailand with us, and got time off work and all even though no prior conversation was had about the trip to be able to know the dates etc. Karen then went on a rant and text me 5 times in a row, even calling herself a shit cunt, which I ignored. I was blocked the next day. Just like that. Went from being family to no one in a instant. Now this isn't the first time there's been issues with Karen. Karen also tried to insinuate to my husband one night that myself and her husband Simon were having an affair. My husband handed me his phone randomly and said "read this shit"... we were both perplexed. For back info, we live together, we work together, we do everything together. There's no possible way that myself or my husband could have an affair, but we also don't want to. We are happy, we have been together for 20 years, we are strong. Anyway, so Karen blocked me randomly because I didn't respond to her stupid ranting texts, but didn't block my husband or daughter. Then she's there posting shit about me calling me a hater and telling me to get fucked etc. Husband and daughter both end up blocking her because they're just as perplexed as I am about it all. I message Simon, tell him to put his bitch in a muzzle and to grow a set and at least tell Karen that her behaviour is completely uncalled for. He ignores me, so I block his ass too. Some other friends of about 20 years tried to involve themselves and put their 2 cents in, saying how I was the one being unfair, so I told them to fuck all the way off and blocked them too. What did it for my husband and I was how she was sitting in our house crying, saying she'd miss us, we are family, blah blah, then goes and organises a holiday to Bali with our entire friendship group but left us out completely, then blocked me out of nowhere and for nothing. AITAH?
