I have this friend who, as far as I can see, goes out of her way to 'do one better' with practically everything in our lives.
For instance, when I told her DP had booked holiday and thought he might propose, I came back from said holiday, engaged and really looking forward to sharing it with her, to find she had also got engaged, and had told absolutely everyone we knew....
Roll on wedding time. I booked mine first. Hers had to be within the same fortnight, of course. I stopped talking to her about it because she made everything a competition... What she had booked, what it cost. When I once exclaimed I had had enough of wedding talk and was feeling quite stressed, suddenly so was she and, oh! would everyone stop talking about it already! There were even days taken off work for 'stress'.
There are other, small things too. Like, she overheard me saying to another friend about a TV show DH and I were into, and then the next day there's a post on FB about how she can't wait to get home and watch said program because her and her DH are obsessed...
I could go on...
Our other mutual friends have noticed, and at the start I never let it bother me before, but it's all starting to get me down. DH says just ignore her. I don't know that I can.
Anyone else have a friend like this? What do you do about it? I'm scared to confront her incase I just come across as paranoid and pathetic.
