I know the feeling. My friend, Mark, throws a new years party every year, but he focuses the party on an ex-best friend we all went to high school with. (Here I am, sounding like I'm 14 again). Nonetheless, it's the only party where everyone gets together... But I don't go, and it's kind of marginalized me from them. Beware of that.
But, if you DO go, also beware! I went to the new years party once, was approached by this chick & I punched her in the face, ripping out her lip ring. As much as I was proud for that well-needed moment, it's not the brightest thing to do.
You were stuck in a bind, it's okay. Don't hesitate to talk to this person and say, "I feel ___ when ___." he'll be sure to understand, and throw him a little birthday shindig-- buy him lunch 8)
Oh, don't worry, I feel 14 years old complaining about . I don't know why, but being affected by people who've wronged you to the point that you'd actually avoid social situations that involve them feels...not adult. But I seriously don't think I'll ever be a person who can handle it. I GUESS I SHOULD JUST MOVE CITIES :b.
If you aren't going to go to the party, you should make sure to take the best friend out to dinner some other time or something. Your reasons for not going are totally legit, but on the same token, I know I'd feel pretty bad if one of my best friends didn't make it to a birthday gathering and didn't make up for it in some way.
