Quick NC in case she’s on here. It’s long and I really hope it makes sense - I’m feeling very Randy!
My ‘best friend’ (let’s call her Sally) has form for being a drama queen and master manipulator, I’ve known and suffered it for years but loved her anyway. Sally has never liked to see other people happy and always seems to find fault in even the most perfect DP. Her own marriage is an utter farce but the less said about that, the better.
My DM told me this weekend that she’s been keeping a secret from me for the past year and a half; DP and I went through a rough patch last year (nobody did anything wrong, I just got cold feet about moving in together), much to Sally’s glee.
This weekend, my DM told me that Sally had called her last year to say that I had checked my DP’s phone and seen that he had been sending photos of my friends to his friends and saying that he wanted to have sex with them. This is an outright lie as I’ve never seen anything of the sort on DP’s phone, much less said anything like that to Sally. Sally was clearly counting on my DM being so angry that she would give my poor DP a piece of her mind and make him not want to try again. As it happens, my DM kept it to herself because she didn’t want me falling out with Sally, but has resented my DP ever since. I’ve since set her straight but I’m absolutely seething.
So WWYD? I haven’t told DP because he dislikes Sally as it is (he thinks she’s lazy, manipulative and a shit friend - guess he’s right!) and I haven’t confronted Sally. I’ve asked DM not to say anything to either of them.
I’m just so angry and upset that my DM has hated my DP off the back of Sally’s lie.
