Default Re: Have we become friends?

It has been pretty much across the board. We had invited them and their children over the weekend of July 4th for a cookout and to hang out at the pool. No expectations because all of our children were around. So it was just a day to hang out with friends and have a good time. The day before they were to come over they called and said that something had come up and were not going to be able to make it. We told them that if things changed to let us know that they were more than welcome to come hang out. At the last minute the decided to come over but again it didn't feel as if they really wanted to be there. It is not like we forced them to come over, we just made the offer. It at times feels like the wife has created a friendship with us and wants to be around but from the husband it feels as if he no longer wants to be friends.

So the cancellations is not just when we are getting together to play or hang out for an evening. It seems to be a regular thing. Or they will cancel saying something came up with the kids, but then they forget about what they told us and then later in the week they cancelled for another couple. Again, MrVan and I do not want them to just play with us only and do not care if they are with others, but just be honest about it. That is what bothers me.
