    Hi friends. First time poster on Reddit ever, sorry if the title is a mile long. My (31 male) husband and I (28 female) moved into our first home a little over a year and a half ago. Over the past year

    and a half we have become what I thought was very close with our neighbors. For privacy we'll call her Suzie (female 35) and her husband Caleb (male 36) It kind of

    started when my husband helped Caleb put together their above ground pool early in the year. It took a couple days and while the 4 of us were hanging out I thought we really bonded. Over the

    course of the year and a half susie and I have texted each other funny things in our neighborhood Facebook group, I've gone over their home to hang out, spent time with their kids or just hung out in the driveway and talked. My husband and I

    have even gotten gifts for the kids before too. She even gave me a copy of her house key and will have me bring in packages or take in her trash can. Which I haven't minded

    because she was doing the same for me. Most recently my husband and I put up Susie and Caleb's Christmas lights on their house just to help because we have a ladder and they do not. Also

    important to mention when we take the dogs out back and they're in their backyard they always say hey and sometimes invite us over. (This is a detail for later) So we started hearing about

    this Christmas party in July of this year. They invited us over for fireworks on July 4th and we met and hung out with all of their friends. We expressed that we had fun and Susie said "wait until our

    Christmas party! We get crazy and we make sure the kids stay with the in laws so we can party all night!" And through the rest of the year we've heard multiple times how excited she is/planning

    details of this party. Even a couple weeks ago when we were hanging the lights Susie said "are you guys ready for my Christmas party guys?!" All of this implied we were getting invited right.....LOL
  • 12
    WAS I FI NG WRONG. We hadn't received a proper invite but I figured she would just text me right, since we text a lot and live right next door. Well about 2 weeks before said party, my husband and I were both

    working in our offices for the day, my husband gets off work before me so naturally he gets home before me. Well he pulls in the driveway and Susie was WAITING out in her driveway and comes up to his car hardly even

    before he can get out of the door and goes "hey my babysitter fell through, do you think you could watch my kids next Saturday for our Christmas party? I'll pay you guys" My husband left it open
  • 15
    ended and said he needed to talk to me first and see what's on our schedule. This was weird for multiple reasons but mostly because Susie is closer with me than my husband and she'll text me if she needs a favor, so
  • 16
    why did she wait for him to get home instead of texting me? Also did you forget two weeks ago when we were putting up the lights that you literally told us we were going to love the party?? It

    was so odd. So he tells me about it and I'm of course very upset because I thought we were close so I didn't text her or follow up and I never heard from her any more about anything. I also thought maybe this was her
  • 18
    way of saying we weren't invited without saying those words. The party comes around and they were in the backyard all drinking and screaming for hours. I'm not kidding, taking shots and wooing and

    jumping on the trampoline, the whole nine. Which wasn't really an issue - however...we took the dogs outside they saw our light go on which I know because there was a pause in the commotion. And when I'm outside with the

    dogs they don't say a word. Every other time they say hello to us at least, and this time they didn't say a word but continued partying loudly. (She's even texted me in the past to apologize for the kids being loud but didn't
  • 21
    apologize for the rager, it was weird) I don't know maybe since I felt left out I was a little more sensitive. The whole night made me feel really upset. Now Susie's sending me texts again like nothing happened.
  • 22
    I, of course, don't want beef with our neighbors since we intend to stay in this house long term, but I also don't feel it's fair to myself let her get away with that. So I'm being short over text and
  • 23
    haven't said hi when I see her outside. Am I being petty? Should I just mention it to her? Should I really just move on like nothing happened? Was I wrong for thinking we were going to be invited?
