AIBU?

To think, for whatever reason, she's lying?

About ten years ago friend A introduced me to friend B. Friend B and I became quite close as we had dd's of the same age. When I say "close" I mean going to each other's houses, going out for coffee/shopping, having each other's dc to play and stay, going to dinner parties at each other's houses etc.

About four years into our friendship, I became unexpectedly pregnant with ds3 and friend B, on hearing the news, said "you're mad, you'll have no friends". And from that day on she started acting strangely towards me, culminating in an episode, after ds3 had been born, when her dh invited us round and she declined to sit with us for the first hour, preferring to do her housework. When she did join us, she wouldn't look me in the eye. To this day, I genuinely didn't know what I'd done to upset her and make her act like that.

Anyway, she moved shortly after, about ten miles away and I haven't seen her since. About three weeks ago, friend A (who'd introduced us initially) coincidentally bumped into friend B and they arranged to meet for coffee, which they duly did. When they were having coffee, B asked A who she still was in touch with, and A mentioned my name. B claimed to have no recognition of me at all.

Can that truly be the case? Or is she fibbing? If so, why? It's of no import really as there is no likelihood of our friendship starting up, but I just wonder what her reasoning is?

Could she maybe have had a crush on your DH?

If A is a really good, caring friend, she could have told a white lie to save hurting your feelings if B had said something bitchy.
Just be glad you still have friend A and not B and not worry about it. B is not worth it.

And I didn't mean my post to sound that harsh - sorry if it did! Blush

I meant that friends can go off one another - sometimes because for example they feel slighted for some reason - even though there is no intention of that from the other person iyswim! Or they just have a moody about something!

Ooh she may have had a crush on dh Henrietta - she was always saying he was in touch with his feminine side! (I think she meant it as a compliment!).

President, no need to apologise, didn't sound harsh Smile
