missgriss · 27/07/2007 17:31

I don't mean to be petty but I can't read this either!

CountessDracula · 27/07/2007 17:31

sorry
i really can't follow that!

ladylush · 27/07/2007 17:31

bosslady just forget about her, pour a lovely chilled glass of wine, sit back and relax

CountessDracula · 27/07/2007 17:31

shall I punctuate it for you?

ladylush · 27/07/2007 17:32

No, just get her to the bar

bran · 27/07/2007 17:33

Do you think you could re-post with punctuation and spaces please, my eyes just keep sliding off the end.

Mind you, I suspect I wouldn't have any useful advice to give anyway.

Bearing in mind i am only her friend for dp sake. Its his best friends wife - she is very young and immature (19 married to 30 year old - i have a bit of a problem with that to start with)

But she is just not my cup of tea, but have to be tolerant. Anyway, as i have been making an effort at being nice she has slowly started copying things i say and do and keeps bobing round for a bru that sort of thing.

Then i find out shes telling people we are becoming really close friends, but the problem i have now is we are going to stay with friends and she is saying her dh is feeling left out as he never gets asked to this particular friends to stay anymore. But i have pointed out to her that he has been asked but refused to go and so thats not our problem.

But shes making him look stupid if he has a problem, why cant he speak to the friend in question without making me feel bad by going. I think its because i am really good mates with the friends girlfriend and i dont think she can handle that, and wants me to be just her friend and it freaks me out a bit when someone gets to that sort of place.

I have a few friends not loads but wouldnt expect me to be there only friend!! im ranting as she has really pissed me off today and none of this probably makes any sence sorry!!

Ok, I put punctuation in.

I hate possessive friendships, it's mad and irritating, I would avoid her tbh.

lulumama · 27/07/2007 17:33

LOL!!! glad its not just me then !!

maybe she is emulating you so that she is more accepted? take it as a compliment..as for the rest, well, try to keep your distance

maveta · 27/07/2007 17:34

eh?

NotQuiteCockney · 27/07/2007 17:34

(Eh, you lot all owe me some proper kayak/canoe word usage, for solving your eye problem.)

ladylush · 27/07/2007 17:34

She sounds very insecure

SweetyDarling · 27/07/2007 17:34

God - just read this and realized i had been holding my breath. Lack of punctuation obviously enough to make me dizzy!

CountessDracula · 27/07/2007 17:36

right
i still don't quite get what the problem is

NotQuiteCockney · 27/07/2007 17:36

You're wasting your time CD, I already did it. :-P

JeremyVile · 27/07/2007 17:36

Bless your cotton socks CD

NotQuiteCockney · 27/07/2007 17:36

I think the problem is, the 'friend' is being possessive, the OP thinks.

Are you annoyed bc she thinks you're good friends? Bc she's emmulating you? Bc she feels left out by you visiting other friends?
