I think I know the answer to this already but here are some of the issues I've faced with my 'friend' for some time now. We met when our kids were small and there have been times when she has been a great friend to me but there's always this undertone of unpleasantness. She's got some MH issues but I'm wondering whether to distance myself a bit.
Constantly mocks me in quite unpleasant ways. Makes out that I'm not capable of doing certain things and she knows better.
Hugely materialistic and competes over everything. If I get something she will get a bigger and better version of it. And tell me how it's bigger and better.
Becomes pissed off if I don't make effort contacting her but happily leaves my messages on read with no reply.
Slates everything good that happens to me - didn't like my partner, laughs at where I go on holiday, she's even laughed at my wedding dress.
Sucks up to other friends and treats them nicely but usually the ones with nice cars and big houses.
Bitches terribly about basically everyone we know.
I don't want to fall out with her, I can't be arsed with the drama of it for one thing. Do I just slowly distance myself?
