I have a girlfriend who always seems to dislike anything I like. For example, she know I have family living in C always finds time to comment on how shitty a place C is. She knows I like to go to Mexico for my holidays and so of course she finds a way to bring into the conversation what a shitty place that is. I could go on, and reading this back I know the answer. Ditch the friend?

Yup.

If she has any redeeming qualities it might be worth saying, if you haven't already, that you find what she says hurtful but really it's probably best to get rid.

Yes she sounds horrible.

It sounds as though she is deliberately undermining you. Some people do this to assert themselves as the superior element of the friendship - akin to school playground politics - & smacks of insecurity, jealousy & immaturity. It’s ok to have a differing view but this sounds consistent in putting you in your place. I would walk away from this. It’s toxic & serves nobody.

I had one like that who would put passive aggressive comments on Facebook about how rubbish something was, just as I had posted about how amazing this thing was. I blocked and ditched that bitch as I was fed up of their judgement. I never once mentioned how I thought that constant duck face selfies and Instagram pictures of her posing in a bikini were a little mutton.... although I wish I had now.

Ditch and you'll feel so much better.

Sorry Monica Blush

I had, note past tense, a 'friend' like that. Constant backhanded compliments. The final straw was when she passed comment on a top I was wearing one day: "I wouldn't wear it myself because it's too old for me. Suits you though"

She was 2 years younger than me.
