So upset. DP and best friend have been having a little "chat" about me.

Babybunny88 · 08/09/2013 16:06

Before my friend "A" and I met she had been friends with my DP for years. DP and I were both mutual friends with A. That is how we met, she thought we would be a good match and introduced us 7 years ago. Fantastic.

Obviously because they have been friends for so long they occasionally text which doesn't bother me in the slightest, I know they don't have any romantically inclined feelings for each other. He has often said she is like a sister to him.

Anyway, I was playing a game on DPs iPhone while he pops round to his dbs house and a message from A popped up. I accidentally pressed it (really was an accident, as I was playing the game and hit the notice), and saw my name mentioned in the text so couldn't help reading it.

It said " Lol! do you want me talk to babybunny about it? Ill make her promise not to say anything to you about it."

Anybody seeing that message would feel inclined to read previous messages, wouldn't they? So I scrolled up and saw that supposed best friend and "d"p were talking about how much weight ive apparently gained. This is word for word how the text convo went:

A: hey, thanks for coming over last night. DH and I enjoyed seeing you both and your DD has got so big!! (We went to theirs for dinner last night)

DP: babybunny and I had a nice night as well. You cook a mean curry!

A: haha I know everybody loves my curries! Maybe though a salad would have been more healthier lol!!

DP: Ahh but who wants a salad on a Saturday night? Curry goes better with Beer! Babybunny doesn't like salads anyway.

A: yes I know... Maybe we should try to get her to like them though..before she puts on any more weight...lol...

DP: yeah maybe. ( I suspect DP didn't know what to say at this point)

A: you know I love her like crazy, but she seems to have put on a bit of weight.. Not good for her health!!

DP: Yea its been since DD was born. Do you have any suggestions? I've noticed this too but for obvious reasons can't say anything.

A: tell her to put down the pies lol!! Just joking! Talk to her about it if it were me I would like DH to tell me!

DP: are you joking? She will go apeshit. Definitely not guareenteed to put down the pies then!

A: Lol! do you want me to talk to babybunny about it? Ill make her promise not to say anything to you about it.

I am sitting here half devastated half furious! I can't believe the two of them have discussed this! Ok fair enough it wasn't for my eyes and they are probably worrying about my health but I am so upset and don't know what to say to DP when he gets back. Do i say anything to A? i already have self esteem issues and this has made me feel total and utter shit.i didn't think I was that fat. And they are both wrong, I do infact like salads!

Help? :(

We'll he didn't redeem himself then!

What's he playing at defending her after they've upset you like that?!

Big joke I don't think!

Writerwannabe83 · 08/09/2013 18:24

I would tell the patronising bitch to fuck off!

SmiteYouWithThunderbolts · 08/09/2013 18:25

I forget how sensitive you are some times lol!!

This would earn a big FUCK OFF from me to both of them.

burberryqueen · 08/09/2013 18:25

I don't know how to respond
'fuck off'?

Vivacia · 08/09/2013 18:25

I don't know how to respond

I wouldn't.

AgentZigzag · 08/09/2013 18:25

'I forget how sensitive you are some times lol!!'

FFS! Hmm Angry

Oh she's so fucking funny with the banter isn't she?

Xales · 08/09/2013 18:25

Oh it's all your fault because you are so sensitive sometimes. Hmm

It was not banter.

Don't reply to her. This is now nothing to do with her. It is about you and your H and how he clearly goes straight to her after having a go at you.

Vida · 08/09/2013 18:25

'You're too sensitive' is the card arseholes play when they're challenged/caught out. Tell her to fuck right off. You're DP shouldn't be seeing her again either of course...

NorfolkIngWay · 08/09/2013 18:26

"I dont know how to respond"

Umm "Go fuck yourself" seems apt

JoinYourPlayfellows · 08/09/2013 18:26

"It was honestly just a bit of banter between DP and me didn't mean to hurt you!! I forget how sensitive you are some times lol!!"

BANTER to her means calling you fat behind your back?

And you're "sensitive" because you don't think it's fine for your so-called friend to be so completely horrible about you?

Um no.

You need to tell this silly bitch to FUCK OFF.

I would probably respond: "I am not your girl. You are no friend of mine. Never contact me again."

valiumredhead · 08/09/2013 18:27

Chucking hell how disloyal?!Shock

Elsiequadrille · 08/09/2013 18:27

She sounds 12 years old from that text message!

"I forget how sensitive you are some times lol!"

And this rather subtly puts the blame on you.

burberryqueen · 08/09/2013 18:28

"sensitive" - is she having a fucking laugh?
and texting you instead of phoning?
what a fucking bitch.
send her a link to this thread bunbuns, please?

Vivacia · 08/09/2013 18:28

She could come to enjoy a bit of banter about it here.

Dobbiesmum · 08/09/2013 18:28

If you have to respond at all maybe something like
"I don't feel that I can discuss this with you at the moment" and leave it at that. The 2 reactions are just different ways of showing guilt IMO, defensive behaviour from him and "I love you really" patronising bullshit from her.

Vida · 08/09/2013 18:28

I'd also be very worried that his first instinct is to tell her, rather than to apologise to you. They're obviously far too deeply involved and he's got his priorities all wrong. Not acceptable.

Writerwannabe83 · 08/09/2013 18:28

I see we all seem to agree with the general FUCK OFF theme! Grin

I just feel speechless bunny - who the hell does your 'friend' think she is? Smug bitch!!!

BalloonSlayer · 08/09/2013 18:28

"Actually, regardless of what I once believed, what I now KNOW is that you make nasty bitchy comments about me behind my back to my husband and try to get him to join in. There is no "come across as" or "didn't mean" or "how sensitive I am" to be considered here - it's clear you are no friend to me."

SmiteYouWithThunderbolts · 08/09/2013 18:28

I would probably respond: "I am not your girl. You are no friend of mine. Never contact me again."

YY to this.

OP, please don't let this slide. This nasty woman has no place in your life. Your "d"P needs a serious kick up the arse too.

KatieScarlett2833 · 08/09/2013 18:28

Send the bitch a link to this thread and never speak to her again.
Oh, and if you are reading this, you hideous nasty cow, fuck off out of their marriage and get yourself a life.

OnceUponAThyme · 08/09/2013 18:28

I would never trust her again, the fucking cow. and would not be impressed by dh's telling tales after getting found out Angry

AgentZigzag · 08/09/2013 18:28

Honestly OP, they're completely in the wrong, don't let them twist this into it being you, it's not.

LondonNinja · 08/09/2013 18:29

Tell her you are not too sensitive, but that she is a fucking awful specimen and to do one.

Friend? "My girl"?

My ARSE.

QueenofallIsee · 08/09/2013 18:29

I would answer that text quite simply..no girl of mine would engage my husband with the express purpose of criticising me. I am horrified by you.

ChocHobNob · 08/09/2013 18:29

I'd respond with "I'm not overly sensitive. You are both insensitive arseholes".

Add in a now Fuck Off for good measure.

Your "D"P is digging a great big hole for himself. So he defends her, totally disregards your upset and goes straight to her. He really is being totally unreasonable. You must feel so ganged up on.
