To be honest I'm surprised more friends aren't dumping her ruthlessly...

Lynette - I don't know any self-respecting woman that would after reading that article! Self-centred mare.

Well I agree with the headline...

But it´s often not really as simple as that is it?

YouveCatToBeKittenMe · 26/07/2012 12:27

friendships aren?t meant to be for life. They should always serve a purpose to your current situation.

Shock is that really all she thinks friendship is??? I'm sure her current friends would be delighted to hear how she's only friends with them until they no longer have a purpose! Exactly how the ex-friends she dumped treated her.

But in the context of Shona Sibary, she is correct, dumping is the only way to go.

Samantha Brick is out-awfulled only by the heinous ShonaSibary, the DM's biggest ego/compulsive liar/fantasist/bore

I agree with her. I had a bunch of mates from school - we were a big group. Eventually, we came to realise that we were only hanging out together because we had that "we've known each other for 16 years" tag. We decided to call it quits because we didn't actually derive that pleasure from each other. We all felt like the others were taking advantage of us - it wasn't that we were, but we all had grown up and moved on.

Our friendships are largely meeting people at times in our lives and we all help each other out in whatever manner we need at that time. There is nothing wrong with that.

I am not sure she goes about expressing herself in the correct manner though.

cuntflapwankbadger · 26/07/2012 12:47

I agree with this article. She had valid reason for dumping all of those friends.

Whitershadeofpale · 26/07/2012 13:03

I thought she didn't have any female friends as women are too jealous of her supermodel looks.

diddl · 26/07/2012 13:46

Thing is though-a hen party is a hen party.

All her friends were still excluded from the wedding.

Justme23 · 26/07/2012 13:53

It doesn't sound to me like she is the dumper, but rather the dumped that has to have the last word.

It is a very teenaged time scenario. My boyfriend has been snogging the face off someone else for months and hasn't texted me in weeks "but I definitely dumped him"...

She really is a very sad individual.

MagicDougal · 26/07/2012 14:08

Re the hen party thing I couldn't understand why she felt it necessary to text the 'friend' to say she'd been dumped. It seemed clear to me that the 'friend' had in effect dumped her by not going to her hen party and giving the most pathetic excuse ever as to not going.

I can't honestly say I've ever felt the need to officially 'dump' a friend. I think generally through life friends have come and gone naturally depending on your circumstances at the time. I have on one occasion had to distance myself slightly from someone because she became a bit too 'needy' (but in a way that she always wanted to involve herself in my problems which really wasn't wanted or necessary. I think she liked to feel needed). However when the boundaries were re established things have carried on just fine and know not to tell her too much about my life.

diddl · 26/07/2012 14:13

Yes I agree.

TBH if a friend of mine was marrying abroad & I wasn´t invited, I don´t think I´d give a rat´s ass about the hen night.
