I have a friend… he fell out with me about a year ago over something small and called me some pretty nasty things, we have since made it up… it’s not the same as before but it’s good enough, we weren’t absolute besties anyway so it’s no drama and I’m fine with the level the friendship is at. He has a male partner and they have children at the same school as mine, so before anyone asks it’s nothing relationship or sexual related that went on.
He txts me a fair amount, social checking in etc and sometimes arranging to meet up, both our lives have changed in different ways since covid and it’s not always possible, but it’s clear he would like to be more social etc,
However he had obviously told his mum about the ‘to do’ last year and his mum has I guess understandably sided with her son. I see his mum approx 3-4 times a week on the school run and we used to have a chat etc and at the very least always smile and wave.
Well now his mum literally completely looks me dead pan in the eye and blanks me or worse still gives me a dirty look. I find it so incredibly rude that I feel like telling the friend unless his mum changes her attitude then I’m not really interested in pursuing the friendship. It doesn’t intimidate me but I just cannot believe the rudeness of the mum.
What say you?
