A while back I reenlisted for a second tour in the military. When it came time for the ceremony, though, I really didn't care for it to be a big thing. It was just another contract, some more time serving the big red white and blue. I didn't really invite anyone, just had a few people out there to facilitate the proceedings. I've never been the kind to like big gatherings.

Well, I come back after the ceremony and find my coworker has told my roommate, who I consider a pretty close friend. I hadn't invited him or his wife because I didn't think about it, and because again, I didn't consider it to be a big thing. Nonetheless, my roommate was pretty peeved- he felt excluded, and he told me as much. Apparently his wife was similarly upset. I kind of didn't talk to her about it, we all just kind of let it slide as if nothing took place. I really didn't mean for it to be taken that way.

So... am I the asshole?
