Not sure if I'm being over-sensitive so here goes....
I've got a work colleague that I became good friends with - went on holiday together a few times, nights out etc etc. Over the past year or so her personality and 'likes' has changed pretty dramatically. For example, her favourite hobby is now fell running.... something she wouldn't have done before. And when I say before I mean pre-boyfriend.
I'm all for trying new things etc but it's seriously like she has had a complete personality/hobby transplant. She talks differently, acts differently, wears completely different clothes now etc etc. And I promise, this isn't some kind of feeling of jealousy or being pushed out. I've been happily married for ten years and introduced her to her now-boyfriend.
The thing is that I recently found out that she'd been calling me all kinds of horrible names - really juvenile school stuff I know. I asked her about and she denied it, then blamed loads of other people (saying they were lying) and then owned up saying that she thinks she said things when 'she was in a bad mood'. She can get pretty emotional, I know that, so we agreed to set it to one side and just accept that things would be weird for a while, we'd sort it out etc.
A couple of weeks later she backed out of a trip to New York we were supposed to be going on. She said that obviously I could still go but it felt weird between us now . I took the kit (financially) and decided no, I didn't want to travel alone. I told her that I wouldn't be going.
Today I see from her IG account that she's in New York with a group of girls she's friendly with. I'm pretty angry/upset about it all and just can't figure her out. I'm always so careful about her feelings (even her Mum has asked me in the past to keep an eye on her, she can struggle with things) but honestly I feel like she has taken the p*
She's slagged me off, blamed other people, then accepted that she was being a bitch., then backed out of a holiday and then went anyway.
I don't know why I'm bothered but I am!!! Please help with some words of wisdom!
