What would you do if a friend invited you to go to a concert at the last minute?

Would you jump at the chance and have fun, or would you stop and think, “hmmm, is there anyone else I know who might like to go too?”

In today’s story, one woman is upset that she didn’t get invited to a concert.

Let’s read all the details.

AITA for going to a concert last minute with my husband and a friend, without inviting my other friend who couldn’t afford it?

A few nights ago, my husband and our friend (M) decided last minute to go to a concert that was two hours away.

M invited both of us, and since it was so spontaneous, we just went with it.

She didn’t even think to invite her other friend.

The issue is that I have another friend (F) who I had previously talked to about this concert.

She told me she really wanted to go but couldn’t afford it, so we just dropped the idea at the time.

When M invited us last minute, I didn’t even think to reach out to F because (1) she had already said she didn’t have the money, and (2) she just had a baby recently so I didn’t think she’d be able to find a sitter on such short notice.

She didn’t want F to expect her to pay.

F also frequently expects me to pay for things for her, to the point where I feel like I’m her mother sometimes even though I’m younger than her.

I honestly didn’t want to be in a situation where I had to cover everything for her again, especially since it was such a spontaneous trip.

Now, she seems upset that we went without her even texted me very hostile and I’m wondering if I was wrong for not at least asking if she wanted to come.

AITA?

I can understand why F is upset.

FOMO is real! I probably would be upset too if I were in her situation, but I also understand why she didn’t invite her.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

She could’ve planned to go.

It wasn’t even up to her to invite F.

If she really wanted to go, she could’ve bought a ticket.
