To think my friend shouldn't be friends with my ex's new girlfriend?

My friend introduced me to her boyfriends friend on a night out.
We started dating for a year.
My friend was always texting him and it made him feel uncomfortable and he said he thought she fancied him.
Anyway my boyfriend cheated on me with a woman and dumped me for her.(this was in jan)
A week later my friend added her on Facebook and I noticed this girl commenting on her posts.
I asked her about it and she said
"Oh yeah I met her last week,we are close friends,she's gorgeous,you can understand why his eyes wandered"
So I said "ok so why did you add her to Facebook when you've met her once,and he cheated on me with her"
She replied .."these things happen,he is happy now,she wants to organise a night out"
Fast forward a month later she is on the phone to me and says
"Oh I seen (guys name ) at the retail park today,he was asking how everyone was,he didn't mention you tho"
Aibu to think this is a bit nasty ?

People are asking you why your still friends with this woman and your ignoring them! Just block and dump her as a friend!

ILoveYoga · 17/11/2020 15:36

I agree with others. She’s not your friend

While it is understandable she might over time become friendly with this girl as they might do things as couples, she’s totally out of line saying these things to you as she’s deliberately hurtful to you.

Newkitchen123 · 17/11/2020 15:36

What do you get out of this friendship?
What's the point of it
Delete and block

mellobrllow · 17/11/2020 15:38

Sorry,i can't answer the question why I'm still friends.
Maybe out of habit I guess.
It's been that long

She's being nasty not very friend like and to say this girl is pretty etc can understand why eyes wandered what a d*ck and play u out to be a psycho. Get rid of her she's no friend she uses u to make herself look better. Probably jealous and wants to be the centre of attention. Just blank her shel get the message u deserve better friends

Babykoala1 · 17/11/2020 15:41

From your title I was ready to say YABU but after reading your post I am with everyone else - she is no friend to you and sounds like a complete bitch

Boulshired · 17/11/2020 15:52

She’s provoking you to end the friendship, making you the bad guy and she can continue to have friendship couples with no guilt. Introducing you to the bloke in the first place was probably for the same reason. She wants couples in her social life, it’s about her.

Cheeseandwin5 · 17/11/2020 16:09

@mellobrllow
She constantly brings him into conversation

I think the first option than, all you can do is distance yourself from her than.
To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if this has nothing to do with your BF but rather just a way to get you upset.
You really don't need this toxicity and stress.

CakeRequired · 17/11/2020 16:09

She fancies him, she's a bitch. Why would you want a friend like her? 'I can see why his eyes wandered'? You do realise she's called you ugly there, right?

Why would you be friends with someone like that? Good luck to her boyfriend, if this other guy tries it on, she'll be on top of him before he finishes his sentence.

CakeRequired · 17/11/2020 16:13

If you wanted to be petty, you could let her know that your ex thought she fancied him and see what she does. But you would be ruining a friendship for certain because she likely would follow up on that and end up being rejected, then dumped and she'll blame you. But really, the spiteful cow deserves it and her boyfriend deserves better.

But it is petty.

Shutupyoutart · 17/11/2020 16:25

With friends like that who needs enemies.

JaffaCake70 · 17/11/2020 16:40

Why are you friends with this person? I don't understand?

IceFrost · 17/11/2020 16:44

Block her number and remove her off Facebook/social media. She isn’t a friend.

makingmammaries · 17/11/2020 16:48

YABU continuing to communicate with this person and expecting anything to change.

LolaSmiles · 17/11/2020 16:48

I totally support people keeping their friendships separate to romantic break ups because DH and I once felt like we were piggy in the middle following two friends who split.Her being friend with your ex's new girlfriend is something that I maybe wouldn't be thrilled about but I'd let it go because I don't like adults expecting everyone to pick sides or drops friendships when two people end a relationship.
However, the comments she has said to you about understanding how his eye wandered, his new gf is stunning etc are plain nasty and bitchy. I'd be ending the friendship based on the fact she's being unpleasant to you repeatedly.

baubled · 17/11/2020 17:05

In all honesty it sounds like she really doesn't like you and is trying her hardest to get a reaction, who needs enemies with friends like that!

KarmaStar · 17/11/2020 17:35

She's so into him!
She is not your friend op get rid of her and her negative energy right away.

mellobrllow · 17/11/2020 17:40

I've always had a feeling she didn't really like me.
You know when your in a group and there would be 4 of us and she would make eye contact with one of them and smirk
(As if they had been chatting about me)
Does that make sense ?

MegaClutterSlut · 17/11/2020 17:45

There is no way in hell I'd be friends with her, she's a bitch

TheVanguardSix · 17/11/2020 17:47

What a drama-chasing cow. Get rid of this vampire, OP.

GaryTheDemon · 17/11/2020 18:42

I would slowly disengage - you can’t reason with this bay shitery

GaryTheDemon · 17/11/2020 18:42

*bat shittery

thepeopleversuswork · 17/11/2020 18:50

She’s a dick and life is too short

OrigamiOwl · 17/11/2020 19:15

She is not your friend.

Wiredforsound · 17/11/2020 19:16

Sounds like she’s very jealous of you. I’m guessing you’re better looking, more popular, kinder, wealthier, smarter or similar. Do the men she fancies fancy you? It’s sounds like she’s constantly trying to stuff to make you feel bad - and going to some effort to do it. I’d make new friends, be less available, take up a new hobby, take a class - make your life richer doing things that make you feel good and make her less important in yours. Apart from anything else it will drive her nuts!
