So, it’s obvious she likes to make digs at him, even though he keeps inviting her over to the parties that he has.
“As a bit, she once pretended to be a sommelier and sarcastically appraised the wines I had on the table,” he said.
“I understand that not all of her resentment is directed at me, specifically, but it still feels very uncomfortable.”
“She came to the MFA straight from undergrad and leads a ‘starving artist’ lifestyle, and I am sympathetic to that, but several of the other students share similar circumstances and political views, and I have never felt the same way around them.”
Since this girl dislikes him so much, he figured she would stop coming to his parties, but nope, she’s shown up to every single one.
Her presence has resulted in him feeling incredibly nervous about the clothes he should wear, what drinks and food he should buy for the parties, and what topics he should chat about with his guests.
It’s wearing him out to have to worry about every little thing that she could scrutinize, and this girl is making his own parties no fun for him to be at.
“So, I would like to explicitly stop inviting her,” he continued. “It will definitely create a little drama since everybody else is still invited.”
“Over the past two years, these parties have almost become semi-official events for the students in the program, so it definitely feels strange to exclude exactly one person.”
“I know that it’s ultimately my house and my party, so I am perfectly within my rights, but I also realize that I’m coming from a place of privilege, so I wanted a gut check.”
He knows that if he does tell this girl she is no longer welcome in his home, she’ll turn it around and use it to confirm her worst thoughts about him, but he really thinks it’s time to tell her to take a hike.
