Sorry may be long, but I'll try to add everything.
I have(had) 2 friends lets call them Betty and Wilma. The 3 of us were friends (not best, but good friends). A few years ago Betty and Wilma had a huge falling out that had nothing to do with me, but I stayed friends with them both not wanting to take sides.
About a year ago Betty wanted me to do her a favour (she was paying me for it) but at the time I was really busy and I text her saying I wouldn't have time to get it done in the time frame she had so to ask someone else. (it was nothing important such as a wedding cake, more like a bit garden work). She never replied to that text and has not spoken to me since, including not "liking" facebook posts (she always used to).
Fast forward a year and I was out with Wilma and by huge coincidence (I only see Wilma a handful of times a year) Betty was there too. She was with 3-4 friends. I didn't go over to say hello as
a) I wasn't sure whether we were still on speaking terms (I hate confrontation)
b) I thought it was a bit harsh on Wilma, although she did tell me it was ok if I wanted to and
c) I have really low confidence and even if Wilma was not with me, I wouldn't have approached her when she had friends with her. (she knows this)
So although I do try to catch her eye a few times to give her a smile, she seems to avoid my eye so leave her to it.
Later I find out she had been bitching to my SIL about how rude I was, and how she hoped I would help mend the feud between her and Wilma!! She has now deleted me from facebook. To be honest it doesn't affect me much, as we weren't bosom buddies anyhow but it is a bit awkward as she is married to a relative of mine. But WIBU? I know I maybe should have spoken to her when I saw her but points a, b and c still stand.
