How would you feel and what would you do?

[Nipplesunited]

If you worked closely with another woman who you classed as your friend for a good few years. And she classed you as a friend too.
You got along brilliantly and always had a good laugh.

Another woman joins and suddenly you barely speak anymore. In close proximity to each other the whole time but the conversation is between the two of them, not you.
When your friend finally does speak, she talks about how great this other woman is. Which is also said to her face. Makes comments about how her son thinks she is lovely too etc. None of which had been said about you, or to you.

Would you feel like your friendship was just a convienience?

Would you not be bothered?

Would it change how you thought of your friend?

How would it make you feel about yourself?

I'd be hurt.

I'd avoid any drama. I'd be as nice as possible to the new woman. It's not school, the three of you could all be friends. Who knows maybe the new woman is as great as your friend says?

I'd assume that the novelty of this new woman would wear off eventually and things would return to an even keel.

The new woman is really nice. I do like her. Its not even about her as such, im more bothered that the woman ive been talking to and had a close work relationship with for the past 2 years or so can just shut me out like that.

The new woman likely feels more comfortable with her as she is making a huge effort to make out she is the nicest one in there. As she did me, when i first started. Which i believed, up until this.

It just all feels fake now, if that makes sense.

Thank you for sharing how you would feel. I wasnt sure if i should feel anything about it or if i was just being petty.
