Thankyou so much for so much support over the previous threads.

I thought a lot about how to respond to F1.
I told her without a proper talk I dont think I can put it behind us.
She suggested we meet up tonight after Ive finished work so we can talk properly.
F2&3 have agreed to be there so another repeat of her flying off the handle doesnt happen.

This time around Im hoping for an explaination and an apology now shes had time to calm down.

What a nasty person she is, it's a painful process losing a friend but as others have said you are much better off without her. Hope you slept well and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

TeaAndToast85 · 22/10/2017 10:45

What a ridiculous woman. You are well shot of her

couchparsnip · 22/10/2017 10:56

She's never going to see what she did wrong is she? Well done OP for calling her out and following through despite her bullying tactics.

InspMorse · 22/10/2017 11:01

Oh dear... she's on the defensive alright.
Nothing more you can do OP. She's jealous of you & is massively entitled.
I have several SAHM friends who feel a strange sense of entitlement towards my time & money - expecting me to put my hand in my pocket before them. Very odd.

ReanimatedSGB · 22/10/2017 11:16

Hope you are feeling OK today. Have a nice relaxing Sunday, if you can, and try not to think about the silly cow any more.

RiversrunWoodville · 22/10/2017 11:18

So sorry kung she will hopefully realise what she's lost

honeylulu · 22/10/2017 11:21

I'm sorry Kung.
Good riddance to bad rubbish, hey?

EyeRollChampion · 22/10/2017 11:24

The mask was slipping... now it's fallen to the ground and burst into flames, hasn't it?

You're possibly feeling rattled, wronged and anxious but please try and see this for what it truly is... a very lucky escape.

Lucky, too, that you have witnesses to her dumbfounding dumbfuckery. Most of her type make damn sure there are none.

I bet she has a lot of pretend friends who talk about her behind her back. Most people aren't as stupid and naive as they appear on Facebook.

Well done for keeping your dignity, integrity and decency throughout this fiasco. Not sure I'd have done the same Cake

TickedOff · 22/10/2017 11:25

Kung, this must be so hard for you right now but in time you realise that you will be far better off without toxic f1 who has now shown her true colours. You on the other hand have remained dignified throughout, you don’t have anything to feel ashamed about, everyone will see this. You’ve dealt with an impossible situation so graciously, shows what a lovely character you are. Don’t ever change.

I cut my very close friend out of my life because of her controlling behaviour. Best thing I ever did! We'll done kung!

littlemissneela · 22/10/2017 11:55

Sorry to hear this outcome, but am not surprised. She sounds like an entitled person, and frankly how she has trated all of you, you are better off without her.
I am a SAHM and I have friends who work in well paid jobs. They have lovely things; are able to go on nice holidays, out for more meals and other events than we can, but I would never feel they owed me anything because they have more money than me!
Flowers to you OP.

Groovee · 22/10/2017 11:55

Sorry to hear the outcome Kung. The Loss of a friendship can be hard. It’s horrible what’s happened but she’s made her bed. She needs to lie in it now!

RhiannonOHara · 22/10/2017 12:14

Sorry, Kung. It hurts to see the other side of people and to lose friends. But you don't need her.

Thanks Brew Cake
Motoko · 22/10/2017 12:16

Where are the posters who said they would've handled this differently, and that Kung should try to hang on to this 'friendship'?

I wonder if they still feel the same.

Bambamrubblesmum · 22/10/2017 12:55

It's horrible when the mask slips and a friend reveals their true feelings about you. She's obviously been jealous for a long time. This happened to me a few years back and it really made me sadly a little bit more cynical which I didn't really want to be Sad

Suspect she'll be back though. All those free hair dos will be too much to pass on.

I'm betting her DH reaches out to yours fo 'fix' things sweep it under the carpet Hmm

SauvignonBlanche · 22/10/2017 13:02

Oh dear, she's shown her true colours, hasn't she?

Mountainpika · 22/10/2017 13:05

All those free hair dos will be too much to pass on.

Wonder who she'll pass them on to.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 22/10/2017 13:06

Motoko but some of those just said they would have handled the situation differently, not that OP should have kept the friend. If she had kept the friend then it would have been an incident or two or ten down the line that would have made OP drop her.

Nobody knows how different handling would have resulted because that's not what happened. What does it matter though? The net result is that the 'friend' is gone now.

I'm baffled that this got to three threads when OP had the answer in the first dozen posts of the first one but she has revolved it now.

MrsHathaway · 22/10/2017 13:18

She brought up how shes done everything for me, F2 asked her to name one thing shes done for me. She couldnt name one single thing.

It was an elightening moment for me, that after all these years of friendship she couldnt think of one thing shes done for me and I couldnt either.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Be careful of F2, though. People who always "tell it like it is" can be very tiresome in the long run.

MiddleClassProblem · 22/10/2017 13:25

Even if you were a millionaire she should still ask before spending your money! That’s it!

FizzyGreenWater · 22/10/2017 13:33

KungFuPandaWorksOut16 · 22/10/2017 13:48

Im Ok thankyou to everybody who has asked. For sone reason i thought I'd be upset but its not, maybe it hasnt hit me fully. None of us have heard from her since last night and no passive aggressive statuses neither.
