Two memorable for me.

One friend complete user, money, lifts, dropped you as soon as she got a boyfriend. We fell out and I reached out to her as I was feeling depressed (as was she): she invited me to hers later in the week, to then say she was ill and posted on social media she was out clubbing.

Other one was this year. Horrible weekend away where she sulked like a teenager (no idea why). Tried to meet up with her a couple of times after and got snubbed, She then started messaging saying she missed me but again snubbed my suggestion of meeting up. I gave up. She’s messaged since and I’ve just ignored.

A friend of 40 years, who I'd supported through hard times (abusive husband, lending her money, etc, etc). I was between a property sale and purchase, and there was a gap in between where I was homeless. No more than two months but probably less if the purchase went through smoothly. She offered to have me in her spare room, and I offered to pay £200 a week. She WFH so I kept well out of the way and spent a lot of time in my room. Small house and didn't want to be in the way. After a month, she said she wanted me to leave. No explanation.

It was in the depth of winter and I ended up in an Airbnb which was a log cabin in someone's garden with no shower, an unheated lean-to kitchenette, and a single electric radiator to heat the place.

I'm usually fairly forgiving, but this was a dealbreaker.

i called out a friend of 15 years for sleeping with a husband of one of our friends *yes I know it takes 2 to tango’

she told me she'd tried it on with my boyfriends and would continue to do so for every boyfriend going forward for my own benefit to prove they were right for me

it had been mentioned to me in the past but laughing nothing thought about it. Now I know it was a deliberate act
