Friend blocked me after a gift

[Redshoesandtheblues]

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.

Is this why your other friend had a falling out with her, did she somehow discover this?

Yes if she did the same to other friend then she really sucks as a friend (and wife)

Yes, it does make you wonder why they wouldn't talk about it and I was told by mutual friend, 'don't go there' when I asked what had gone on.

I will send the books.I got them in advance for child.
Ive said I'll send them in a block and up to her then as to how she gives them out.

Hope DDog is ok in the end

He's a fighter, Random and he's much loved.

He's my priority issue at moment.

I don't know why you are continuing to engage with her especially by sending books. She is taking you for a mug while she is enjoying all the attention from om .

But, yes, I've been asked to send the books. And I will.

Sorry but that makes you a mug. A very used mug.

She's proved she's no friend. At the very least she would have found a way to contact you early on to explain all this bizarre behavior. Instead she's just thrown you and your friendship to the lions.

You'd be a fool to carry on.

I will send the books.

Have some dignity, OP

The books are personalized for the child.
Its not her fault that things have gone tits up. And, hopefully, they will occupy her if atmosphere at home rather tense.

I'll be leaving well alone once they have been sent.

Please come onto the dog boards and let us know how your wee dog is, when you know better yourself? Yes, I’m more concerned about the dog, than your friend.

Imagine the effect it will have on her D when she works out that she's been used as decoy for her mother's affair. That her receiving presents off someone she doesn't know in RL is to disguise her mother's affair. She will find out one day because kids aren't stupid and work stuff out. This is the ingredients I really mess her up in adulthood.
Its the D I feel sorry for.

There are dog boards?

Yes @Mothership4two. Full of great and sometimes shite advice.

Well this turned out to be a horrible thread since I last checked in on it!

I'm really sorry red about your friend treating you like this (especially for such a shitty reason) and about your dog.

I don't think my presents to the child were involved in the scenario Rose, just maybe some extra gifts to friend.

But ,Im not in touch with her at present and have no interest to find out any more.

Thanks @Ginkypig, it did seem to get bit darker than expected.

The bit I still cant get my head round (and op perhaps it's the same for you) but why did she want this gift she sent you back?

I think she was supposed to be talking to the other man, not me, upsidedown.

Hope your lovely doggo is ok @Redshoesandtheblues

Thanks ThatCurlyGirl.
It's not an easy situation, but we are doing our best. He's on antibiotics and other meds and fingers are crossed.
