By the same token, the host and other guests did not discuss the event in your presence to avoid rudeness and awkwardness.
Now we live in a time when it is OK to confront people, to get things off your chest, to be open, to assert your rights, to get closure. That leads people to ask why they weren't invited -- to weddings, to parties, to tennis teams.
It would be nice if folks could go back to just assuming that they cannot be invited to everything in life and accepting it.
