I have know my best friend Jane since we were in secondary school, we even lived in the same estate and went to school together. We spent several days a week in each other’s houses and we were always together. People even thought we were sisters because we look alike. Over time I got to know all our family members well and we became like family. By the time we entered uni we made friends with 2 other girls and all of us used to roll together. Till we graduated, NYSC took us to different states and soon after we separated as we got jobs and became more busy. We all made an effort to get together but time and schedule will not allow so we now communicate on social media regularly. Last year, Jane got engaged. She sent me a message about the news and I told her I was happy for her. However last month, I got a message from one of our close friends, the one in our clique asking me if Jane had sent me the iv and if I had bought the aso-ebi. I told her I hadn’t but would do so as soon as I got the iv and the details. Mamalettes would you believe the invitation never came. After waiting a few days, I sent the friend that gave me the info a message and told her I hadn’t received an invitation and concluded that I was not invited. She acted shocked, and told me I should come anyway. I thanked her for the offer but said I would only go to a party i was invited to. The wedding day came and went. It was over the festive period. The 2 other girls in our clique were bridesmaids. Infact I saw all the photos this week on Facebook of them at the wedding. I have been very upset since I saw the pictures in fact I did not know when tears started falling from my eyes. What makes me confused is that Jane and I did not have any fight. I do not know what made her to exclude me from her wedding entirely. In fact I am confused because I did not know she had any issues with me, I know I got a very good job and she has been struggling to find one but I did not think we were competing. I saw her as my sister and we have been close for so long. We have not spent as much time with each other as usual in the past few years, because of work for me. I still call her mother to greet her on her birthday and festive occasions. What even pains me that it wasn’t a small wedding she did, it was in a very big hall almost 500 people.  I dont know if it makes sense to call her ask why she did not invite me or should I simply accept that she is not interested in my friendship and move on?
