... we apologized profusely, but nothing prepared us for the onslaught of guilt and anger spewing from them ...
DEAR MISS MANNERS: 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.
This happened more than a month ago and they are still very angry with us. I managed to have a chat with the husband the other day, and he expressed the bitterness and hurt they still feel. GENTLE READER: Miss Manners is keenly aware that many of her Gentle Readers believe that anything other than “total honesty” is wrong. These are your friends, after all, you tell yourself -- they will understand.
