To feel sad about being ‘reserved’ by my friend for her (soon to be) ex DH?

[EstWll]

Our friends are very sadly divorcing. My DH and I were originally friends with her and then got to know her DP and have been good friends with them for about 15 years.

Just messaged to ask how they are and remind them that we’re here for them if either of them needs to chat etc

Just got a message from her saying that her DH doesn’t have as many friends as her so going forwards she wants to “reserve” us as friends for her DH

I sort of see where she’s coming from but not sure how to feel - I’ve always seen her as one of my closest friends and although we get on well with her DH, we wouldn’t have been friends with him if they hadn’t been together and don’t have much in common with him to easily remain close after they’ve split up.

Just feeling a bit odd and a bit sad about it and not at all sure how to respond. Maybe just ignore it and carry on contacting and checking up on both of them as we’ve been doing so far?

Interesting phonecall. She's been as clear as she can, within the boundaries of what she considers to be polite (though most of us don't), that she isn't interested in seeing you any more OP. There will be no call for coffee in a few weeks time, please don't expect one.

Sounds like you’re handling it fine. You don’t divvy up mates fs. I’m leaning more towards dropping you both while still trying to look good, but it’s not working for her lol.

Just ignore it, she's probably not thinking straight.

She's dumping you
