A coupled traveler takes exception to their single friend's view that others 'froze her out' during their group beach vacation.
We rented a huge house on a beautiful beach with another couple and Dana. She doesn’t care for the beach but, during the planning stages, said she’d be fine since there were fun things to do in the area.
I feel bad that Dana had a bad time, since she is one of my oldest friends, but did we do anything wrong? I thought the main point was for all of us to be together again, not run out trying to sightsee and shop.
And now you’re looking to me to agree it was her fault she felt utterly extraneous? Since she “got a bargain really"?I’m out of huffy rhetorical questions, so I’ll conclude: Dana would probably have liked at least one friend to have shown an interest in spending time with her. Your contempt for her interests — “not run out trying to sightsee and shop” — is palpable.Sorry, but your answer was patronizing to single people.
