My best friend and I have been friends since we were 15, over 20 years. We both have alot of other friends. Mine are quite varied but people I am friends with for various reasons, all lovely in different ways.
When I had my DS (5) christened a few months ago my best friend was one of the godmothers. All the children took off their shoes and somehow my BF's son ended up with an identical but more worn pair. I phoned around my friends afterwards to see who had picked up the wrong pair and gave my BF the number of another friend whose son had the same pair. Anyway, they both obviously thought they were right and although I'm sure she was really polite about it at the time my BF told me how annoyed she was about it.
Last week, after a few drinks my BF was telling me how she was still really annoyed and called my other friend a 'thief'. I said that there had just been a misunderstanding but she said 'I hate her!'. She also said other friends of mine who were there were really posh etc (which they aren't, including my aunt (who is!) and said she didn't like another friend of mine.
I have known this about her before, she has in the past made it clear she hasn't liked and ex-boyfriend and various other friends of mine but I have never said anything. But this night, I defended my friend over the shoes and my other friends who she called posh and said it was untrue and unfair.
I would never dream of speaking about her friends like that.
Anyway, she hasn't been in touch since and I don't know what to do. She is my oldest and closest friend, I don't want to lose her but I think it really disrespectful to be so rude about people I am close to.
