I have posted a while back but little bit of a update.
Anyway I was friends with my friend for over 10 years.
We had a night out last April and she introduced me to two girls ,we got on well and started texting.
They introduced me to their group of friends and started inviting me on nights out,holidays.
Me and one girl in particular got on great and started texting every day and meeting up for coffee,cinema etc.
My friend was not happy that I was introduced to the group and started slagging me off to the girls in the hope they would stop liking me.
I tried to understand why my friend was doing this but it made no sense.
My friend stopped speaking to me and told lies to the girls about me.
They all left the group chat and opened a new one and I was not included anymore.
The girl I became close too,still text daily and have lots of conversations.
We don't speak about any of it.
She told me they are all away tomorrow for the weekend and all the things they have booked.
Obviously I'm not invited to any of it.
I'm hurt tbh that my long time friend did this and now my new friend didn't have my back either...yet she still speaks daily.
She doesn't acknowledge any of it.

Sorry to hear this it’s awful. I went through exactly what you are describing ousted by one girl and the others followed apart from one girl and like you we don’t talk about it. It’s hard and when I hear she is going out with the group and it grates even 2 years on. I like her though and so we manage. Our exclusion extended to my husband and child. As people have said they simply aren’t friends but if you like the neautrel girl keep that relationship. I think it’s theit way of coping with it by not getting involved at all . You will look back and be relieved I promise x

Ooooohhhhh it’s this one again.

OP I say this from a place of kindness: MOVE ON!

Opendraw · 28/02/2020 16:26

I remember it now too having read latest comments I have to say from experience it’s very hard to move on but granted all the answers have already been given guess OP just wants to vent.

God, you have to stop this...

Forget old friend, she doesn't like you any more. Lower your expectations of new friend. You are a distant friend she quite likes but isn't close to. You are expecting far too much to expect someone with this level of friendship to have your back.

Expecting to be asked on a weekend away with someone who dislikes you so much that she has blocked you everywhere is completely unrealistic, as is to think that a group of people who work with and who are old friends with your ex-friend will put what you want first.

My guess is your unhealthy obsession with ‘new friend’ has made things very uncomfortable for everyone else, not least because if I recall correctly she’s not sexually interested in you, but you’re in love with her?
