I have a friend that I've known for a few years, and to be fair she's always been nice enough but had a bit of a snobby outlook. In the past she has made comments aimed towards me about not being able to afford the same types of shops as her for clothes for the DCs. She likes Boden, Fat Face and John Lewis and I go to H&M and Primark as my budget is small. She has referred to me in the past as a bargain hunter, which I'm not sure I find all that flattering. It's not a choice of bargain hunting for a little fun but more because I have to bargain hunt.
She also often brings a friend when we meet up, who she sees a lot more frequently when she sees me and to be honest she creeps and crawls to this other friend and treats her like the queen, then I get sidelined whilst we're out and ignored, they sometimes walk along arm in arm and talk about things that I know nothing about and am not party to, things like expensive holidays they have booked together or nights out they have been on.
We met up on Wednesday last week. We live about an hour's drive away from each other so we meet in a city which is a halfway point for us both and we each get the train there. On Wednesday she turned up with this friend again, which I didn't mind too much, but they did their usual chatting away and I may as well not have been there. We then went into a big department store and my friend said to me "M and I are going to go off and have a look at the baby clothing so we'll come and find you in, maybe, half an hour?". I was a bit put out but as I don't have a baby and her friend does, I thought maybe they thought they were being nice and that I'd want to look at other things. After about an hour of me looking around the store they came and found me. We then went into another large store and at the entrance my friend said again "We're going to go off and have a wander, we'll find you in a little while". I was feeling quite upset but I didn't say anything, I don't know why I didn't. It was a shop I wanted to go in so I looked around, bought a couple of things, then had a look for them both and couldn't find them anywhere so I thought "fuck this" and left the store, got a taxi to the station and went home as they clearly didn't want me there.
My friend didn't text or contact me but when I got home she had sent me a PM on Facebook saying that clearly I had gone off without them and she was very disappointed as she'd travelled a long way to meet me. I haven't replied to her as I think our friendship is over, and I don't like the way she is turning it all round back to being my fault when she acted in a nasty way towards me.
