Does anyone else have a friend who they don't actually like, but it's easier to keep face with them?
I've been friends with said person for 12 years. We actually used to be very close, but she's changed a lot over the years and become very selfish, rude on occasion and materialistic (partly since marrying a wealthy guy). I don't actually like her as a person anymore.
Thing is, we have friends in common, so I think it makes sense to keep face with her to avoid any drama within the group. We all have such lovely memories from when we met in our 20s, and don't want to destroy that memory by splitting the group apart. To be honest, I also feel a bit scared of her as she's quite intimidating; I'm sure I would feel her wrath if I went against her.
Oh, how her behaviour compromises my principles, though! I'm a very moral person and my values are a core part of myself. Which is why I also feel so fake pretending to like her! Sigh!
Anyone else?
