Friend blocked me after a gift

I wouldn't normally post about personal stuff this minor, but I am genuinely confused.

I sent overseas pal an email gift card for something she had raved about. A consumable item. No time limit on card.

She didn't acknowledge it.
Busy, I thought. And just waited for her surprised reaction when she found it.

To be clear, I took cues from her recent photos,so it wasn't off the wall. And it was in relation to something she was about to do. Either this gift card or flowers, I thought.

I spent time zooming in on makers of item, finding them and then phoning overseas and emailing, to sort out a gift card.

She blocked me!
Unblocked me to ask for her most recent gift back and told me to eff off!

I'm pretty stunned. But also worried.

Im currently unblocked , but I'm not sure how to handle this.

I've never refreshed a thread hoping for an update so many times before. Hope you are able to enlighten us all soon op.

AllFourOfThem · 24/09/2019 21:39

I hope your pet is ok. Flowers

I’m glad you’ve found out the reason for all of this and very intrigued to hear what it was.

NameChange84 · 24/09/2019 21:40

Lol snap allthesharks! We'll probably break the website soon.

MarshaBradyo · 24/09/2019 21:40

Haven’t read but wondering re story

allthesharks · 24/09/2019 21:42

@NameChange84 either that or the thread will fill up with messages of intrigue before we get the conclusion.

As an aside, on threads like this, there should be an "outcome" button that the OP can tick when they write the conclusion and people can opt to receive a notification that an outcome has been added to a thread they're following.

Motoko · 24/09/2019 21:42

At this rate, the thread will fill up with people placemarking, before OP has told us.

Cough cough!

Genius idea!

Badolddays · 24/09/2019 21:46

Was she a man?

Redshoesandtheblues · 24/09/2019 21:48

No, it won't. Im not teasing.

Im just taking time to take it in myself.

Thank you @AllFourOfThem.

This has taken somewhat of a back seat .

Im trying to be succinct as possible.

My friend swapped identities on her phone , so a lot were mine. Naturally.

But others were her affair guy.
But she got mixed up and left messages on her phone that gave the impression we were getting it on.

Her husband is now questioning- rightly so- every gift under my name.

Sorry to hear about your pet - hope all is ok Thanks

Writing it down here might help you to process whatever has happened.

I'm just hoping she hasn't turned it all round to somehow make you think it's all your fault. From what you e said I honestly don't think you've done anything wrong.

Redshoesandtheblues · 24/09/2019 21:56

I'm very upset at being brought into this, as I had a good relationship with husband beforehand.
And he now thinks I knew.
Which I didn't.

littleorangecat22 · 24/09/2019 21:56

Wow!

HesMyLobster · 24/09/2019 21:56

Oh wow!
So definitely not your fault so that's good.
But it sounds like a messy situation

LIZS · 24/09/2019 21:56

So she used you to try to cover up her affair. Not really a friend then.

littleorangecat22 · 24/09/2019 21:57

Oops, posted too soon! That definitely explains husband's reaction to you. Sorry you've been dragged into this.

Inebriati · 24/09/2019 21:58

Ouch. I dont think I could forgive being used as the alibi.

Redshoesandtheblues · 24/09/2019 21:58

He's going through every gift to child.

But even he now admits they had UK postmark.

OP posts:
allthesharks · 24/09/2019 21:59

So, why did she want you to send the last gift that she sent you, back to her?

DerbyshireGirly · 24/09/2019 21:59

This is rubbish

Intheupsidedown · 24/09/2019 22:00

So she was receiving gifts from the other man and claiming you sent them... and then using your name as the title for the chats with the other man....

How does that account for her blocking and unblocking you to send photos of her drinking wine unless her husband didn't want her talking to you but she couldn't tell you why?

allthesharks · 24/09/2019 22:01

I would imagine the blocking was so there were no messages coming through under OPs name, that he could suspect were from the other man.

LIZS · 24/09/2019 22:02

Agree her erratic behaviour suggests there is more to it, but frankly not worth asking as she will probably lie again.

Redshoesandtheblues · 24/09/2019 22:03

sharks she was pretending it was affair guy. And why she told me to eff off.

I'm confused as you are!

Thats why i said i needed time to process.
