At the moment, I have 2 (male) friends and my boyfriend. We all hang around together, we go camping and stuff like that. My boyfriends brother knows my other 2 friends aswell (but he doesn't ever come out with us or anything), and he has suggested that they all go camping together. He has specified that it be "just the boys". Neither him or us hang out with any other girls, so that just excludes me then.
When it was first decided, my boyfriend thought it might upset me so decided not to tell me just yet (thnx), but my friend got there before he did. He started talking about going camping and since we had another camping trip planned I thought that's what he was talking about, and joined in. He corrected me "I meant a different time, we're going with *my boyfriend's brother*" I just went along with him, but I didn't know if he meant I weren't welcome or what so when I asked my bf he said yep it was gonna be "just the boys". But anyway, I got over that humiliation then yesterday the same friend was telling me where they're planning to camp so I showed interest, and then he just glared at my bf in a confused way as if to say "does she know she's not coming?".
I feel so stupid writing all this down, it sounds so pathetic that I don't even want to post this but I was hoping for some ideas on the best way to deal with it, because at the moment I am so embarrassed that I am not invited such an obvious way, and I feel like they aren't as good friends as I thought they were.
