New Year’s parties and events can reveal where friendships really stand.

She turned it down because the friend she wanted to come with refused her invitation.

Now, the same friend was asking for the party address after changing her mind.

AITA- NYE party invite

I am currently a college student. I spent New Year’s Eve in my hometown.

I got a NYE party invite from a hometown friend.

I texted a close high school friend the day before to see if she would want to come with me.

She said she was going to spend the night with her friends.

She didn’t invite me to go with them.

This was even though I was friends with all of them as well.

This young woman made plans with another set of friends.

I ended up making plans with other people instead of going to the party.

Because of that, I never asked the host for the address.

The next day, my high school friend who refused to go with me texted me unexpectedly.

She asked for the address of the party. She said all of them could go without me.

I told her I wasn’t going to ask someone for the address of a party I wasn’t even going to.

This was especially because the invite didn’t come from someone I talk to on a daily basis.

She asked for the address and gave the names of the people who planned to come.

She insisted. So I ended up asking for the address anyway.

When I gave the host her friends’ names, he asked.

And then he stopped responding to me.

It turns out some of the people she was bringing with her had been uninvited from the party.

Now, her friend is mad at her for giving their names.

Then, she got mad at me for giving their names.

I called her out for using me and putting me in a bad spot with the host.

AITA for not wanting to get the address for them?

And for giving their names?

It all seems to be very immature, says this one.

If you’re not invited to the plan, you probably shouldn’t be the one handing out directions.
