Isn't it sad that in our society its pretty much ok to treat friends with so little thought

(in this and many other situations)

I wish it was that easy! I do get on with her and she is a very sweet girl. But her Christian views are a lot more hard core than mine when it comes to friends of the opposite gender. Bottom line for her is that no matter if I'm a "threat *snort*" or not, M and I should never ever be anywhere alone together (including in a public place) and hugging really does not make her comfortable. Sadly it is her beliefs so nothing will change that. She is entitled to them but it does make me sad that I appear to have now lost a best friend of seven years because of them.

I think the comment about the internet in general being the new newspaper is correct... to a point. I have a fewclose friends on here and facebook etc.. and if they had told me they had gotten married, had baby, got pregnant etc... on here I would be upset (but would so be upset if i found out via the newspaper too) but for general friends if i found out that way I would except it - although still would be slightly upset the didn't text me about it first.

Considering Paws your friends were close yes you have a right to be upset.

On another note guess it depends how much you talk (other than internet) as well.

I do get upset as well when I get told by a friend not so close about my close friends and wonder why they got confided in rather than me (and I am the confide in me type person)... but thats my gripe and this is about you

That's my thought, acquaintance is one thing but really close/best friends.....

Anyway, after talking it out with someone else this over I've figured my best course of action is to let it go. I think where the freind (espically in the case of M) has been made pretty clear. As was said to me maybe one day we'll sort things out but now is not the time to get into a fight over it. I guess this is partly a case where a case where a friendship has grown apart, I'm just also sad it's really for the wrong reasons (ie her objection to him having close female friends).

I am glad to know that it's not just me, that others would be hurt or upset too. I really shuddered to think that such actions would be considered perfectly acceptable etiquette today!]]> Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:19:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18056&PID=408152&title=acceptable-or-kinda-rude#408152 <![CDATA[Acceptable or kinda rude? : I think its rude and would be...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18056&PID=408084&title=acceptable-or-kinda-rude#408084 Author: marielb

I'd mostly agree Kaycey....although we have no idea what kind of relationship the sisters have. One of my sisters would likely find out via the newspaper, simply because we're not close (although, she wouldn't get an invite either, so that's what I mean by not close). Sometimes families can be pretty messed up.]]> Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:07:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18056&PID=407892&title=acceptable-or-kinda-rude#407892 <![CDATA[Acceptable or kinda rude? : OK your own SISTER!!!???

Hrmmm....when we got engaged we told our close friends and family ourselves....but a lot of others (mainly sisters/nieces/nephews who we don't see very often at all) probably found out from my Bebo status being updated... In saying that though, the majority of them will get an invite to the wedding (actual invite, not email!!) so yeah. That was just easier as my family is flung so far and wide and is rather large and we aren't in regular contact with a lot of them...]]> Mon, 09 Jun 2008 14:33:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18056&PID=407795&title=acceptable-or-kinda-rude#407795 <![CDATA[Acceptable or kinda rude? : I do think it's really sad...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18056&PID=407760&title=acceptable-or-kinda-rude#407760 Author: .Mel

Hrmmm... I don't know. A close friend maybe I'd be offended... but there is so much contact online these says with a trillion gazillion people that I am not sure how easy and quick it is to tell them all (compared to a facebook update).

I must admit to being a tad jealous when I found out one of my close friends got married secretly (I was fine with that part!) but then I found out that quite a few other people had known about it... I felt a bit left out.

She had no obligation to tell me so I got over it.]]> Mon, 09 Jun 2008 13:56:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18056&PID=407738&title=acceptable-or-kinda-rude#407738 <![CDATA[Acceptable or kinda rude? : almostthere wrote:Man im the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18056&PID=407701&title=acceptable-or-kinda-rude#407701 Author: Paws

I probably wouldn't be if it weren't for the fact that both people (esp M being literally one of my "best friends") are people who we were meant to be very close with.

It would be time consuming to phone everyone I agree but I guess I'm old fashioned, I just think that even in today's age it would still be far more polite and nicer to email or text your family and close friends...

Ok everyone feels differently about these things. Just recently in fact I found out that a very good friend of mine has married. I saw her pics on Facebook before I saw them anywhere else..
TO me, it doesnt matter. People get so busy these days and calling all your friends can be expensive, so leaving it to face book etc I think is reasonable.. Your other friends that married: well, they probably had a very small wedding and went on honeymoon rather quick perhaps and didnt have time to call everyone... Face book to the rescue!

This is only my opinion and how i would feel about it though

Ok so short version...in the last couple of months I've two incidents that have left me kind of upset.

The first was finding out people who were meant to be good friends, who'd recently stayed with even had secretly gotten married. No worries there. What disturbed me was finding out on a Facebook status update. I was left wondering WTF? Is this normal ettiquette now? I would have thought at least an email or even a text people would have better. (especially to the people who had been told they would be bridesmaids only to find out they wouldn't be after all through same said status update.)

Now last night I've found out that someone I thought I was best friends with, a guy who had flown back from Korea for my wedding, who I used to be close to and we used to share and confide in each other lots, a guy who was like my big little brother, has gotten engaged. Wanna know how I found out? Yup. Facebook. Relationship status update flicked up.

I know in this last case it could also be a reflection of us growing apart. His new fiance is *very* much the sterotypical and proper Christian girl who has not been comfortable with how close M and I were and that fact that we would hug hello or goodbye and therefore M has been pulling away...but still.

I'm left wondering, has modern communication got to a point that such important announcements to close friends, such as weddings or engagments can can be announced to everyone on FB and be considered polite and normal ettiquette?

Am I being too precious over this or would others be hurt/upset as well??
