and I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable in A) thinking it's too late and B) feeling like I want to move.
I'm going to literally recap this whole thing into factual points to avoid too much rambling.
Friend and I met 5 years ago, close immediately. Always have been, she's lovely and I enjoy her company.
I meet Wendy 3 years ago. I introduce them a little while later. They slowly get close. Wendy was outed as trouble by my husband immediately and despite usually being a great judge of character she flew under my radar and I ignored him. We live in very small village and she knows everyone/everything etc. loves you to know it too.
around 6 mo it appears Wendy took a dislike to me, began bitching to my friend. Due to being completely lost in the throws of depression and other personal issues I missed this shift. I later confront them about being off with me, to basically have a character assassination. (it was very petty, I didn't understand it at the time but a few months later derails of W personal life emerged and it must have just been misplaced jealousy) I was very very disappointed with my friend, knew I'd never fully forget it but love her dearly and tried to resolve and we've been ok since. I however finally clocked W and have felt very cold towards her since despite her still being polite and even friendly to my face when we see each other... but I can see straight through her and I would love to cut ties.
The more I create distance the less I see of my friend. I feel uncomfortable in my village because she's just always 'there' somehow.
I've had enough. and i don't really know what to do! I miss my friend but she's not a talker and I believe Wendy has her claws too far in now. The Trust has gone and I'm feeling like I need a fresh start.
aibu and overreacting?
