How can I be so stupid?

[lnr]

I've hurt Richard, and now I'm miserable and I can't even tell if he's OK or not since we're both at work and it's all my fault. And I'm sitting here feeling sorry for myself and hating myself for it.

Inviting people he can't bear to my party without even discussing it with him was obviously a horrible thing to do. And now I don't know what to do about it. Don't feel like celebrating anything any more. But I guess the show must go on.

*HUGS*

I'm confused though; the invite list went out ages ago. Why has Richard only decided to object the day before your birthday? Presumably it was a mistake on your part, though -- I mean, you didn't deliberately do it to upset him! -- so hopefully he's not going to hold it against you.

If you're worried about him, can you email/phone him at work to see if he's okay? I'm sure your work wouldn't object to you making a short personal phone call. Or is he just refusing to reply to anything?

I guess you may have to uninvite the person in question, which is awkward, but presumably Richard is more important ...

Anyway, even if nobody else comes, and Richard hides in his room, I will come and give you hugs and hopefully cheer you up. Er, assuming I'm not the person Richard can't stand, that is...!

If it's me, just say the word, and I'll go elsewhere.

Ditto. We have booked into a Travelodge (Fourwentways, CB1 6AP) for Saturday night so provided we are personae gratae we'll be there.

Likewise (although, given that I've only done 1 of 2 essays, and not started working on the second, I think I might be coming back to Northampton sharpish anyway).

Oh, L. I hate to see things go to pieces. Here's my shoulder for you.

I don't think it was obviously a horrible thing to do. At a push it might be thoughtless, but not horrible, you didn't do it on purpose.
