Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
We were scheduled to have dinner with two friends at the tail end of a fun week -- several days of entertainments, parties, drinking and late nights. When the day of our dinner date came up, my wife and I were so miserable that we had to cancel our dinner plans. Eating another bite of food was the last thing we wanted to -- or could -- do. We were burned out, and it was self-inflicted.
My wife thinks I should have lied and told them we were sick, but instead I told them the truth. Now they feel like trash thrown out the window. We’ve apologized a half-dozen times, written notes, offered rain checks for dinner, basically done everything we can think of to make things right. Nothing is working.
While a month of anger and hurt is a lot, Miss Manners has sympathy for your friends for not rushing to make plans with you again. Perhaps time and a solid future of kept plans will eventually soften them.
