A couple of weeks ago someone I used to be friends with who I havnt seen for nearly 20 years gets back in touch wanting to meet and catch up. She suggests coming to my house one evening and I try to explain that whilst my dp is lovely he is not very sociable and as our house is quite small with only one living room there isn't much room to have a good chat. My dp is great but more of a mans man iykwim.
Anyway we meet in a pub one evening then a couple of days later I meet her with my dcs at the park.
That night she texts to ask if I have any plans on Friday evening. I say no and she replys ooh I could come and play! (wtaf? She's a 50 year old woman) I didn't reply as I wasn't sure what she meant and I certainly didn't think she was expecting to come here for the evening - I wouldn't dream of inviting myself round anywhere.
She rings me today and it's clear she's expecting to come here on Friday evening. I try to make some excuse but shes adamant she's coming.
I hate confrontations usually and I am usually a pushover but this has really annoyed me.
Do I lie and tell her somethings come up(she would probably guess this was a lie) or do I front up to her and tell her I didn't invite her and I don't want her to come. Or amibu and a cow?
By the way she is single with no dcs.

She sounds very pushy. Someone telling me that they were coming to my house would get my back up. YANBU

Maytheodds, did they actually come for Christmas dinner?

Imperial, hell no Grin I try to be nice but I have my limits, and that particular request was way way way outside my limits! it did take a while for it to sink in with her though Shock

And in fairness to my friend she has been a lot better recently, and I think she's realising ( with everyone not just me) that the more she backs off a bit the more people want to see her

Good luck op, firm and fair is the way to go Smile
