It happened. People further along than me in the CPA profession warned me about this before. One guy blamed working at PWC for his marriage failing.

I just have very little free time with work followed by studying for the CPA, plus I have a girlfriend, and aging parents I help around the house. Anyway, I RSVP’d to a friends wedding a few months ago and then just recently found out about his bachelor party which I was not invited to. I was really surprised until I heard from people it was because I haven’t been around for a while to socialize but I should just call the guy and ask to go. I totally understand the non-invite since I HAVE been absent a lot the last 2 years. I am way too prideful to call and ask to be invited and I feel like I should make up an excuse to not go to the wedding. Not because I am butt hurt (okay, just a little) but because I think it would make it awkward for everyone. Anyway, this sucks. Back to studying REG.

If he's a close friend then why not call him?

But then if he was, he wouldn't have “forgotten” you.

Missing a bachelor party is a big sacrifice no doubt.

There will be more, don't worry.

stay away from those people….REG rock and rolls!

host your own party once you pass.

While you might think he's still a close friend, he obviously no longer thinks you're a close friend. Go to the wedding if you still want to be able to salvage the friendship. Not going to the wedding will likely be the straw that breaks the camel's back. That's fine if you want to just move on though.

I would say, if he was your real friend, he wouldn't overlook you simply becuase you've been busy studying for CPA. So don't worry about it. Skip the wedding if you want, but either way don't sweat it.

This CPA journey will be over soon and you'll be able to move on with your life.

In my humble opinion, if he doesn't consider you a close enough friend to invite to the party. Then its not worth you taking the time to attend the wedding.

As per Peter Olinto, your having fun should be “unusual and infrequent” like an extraordinary item in income statements, if you want to pass the exams. Just sayin…. D:
