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 ?

Yeah think your right.
It's best not to fuel her drama.
Why do you think she dislikes me ?
Maybe jealousy?
Or something else

She's a toxic friend ... thrives on stabbing you in the back and front 🌺

Doesn't matter why she doesn't like you or why she does it.
Just block her and move on. Life is too short.

She's really nasty...but something is wrong with you to put up with this. If a so called friend of mine said I was a bit thick, they wouldn't get the opportunity to do so again.

I'd block them and wouldn't look back. Never mind the comment about seeing why his head was turned. I wouldn't waste my time with telling her she wasn't my friend anymore...she'd be history to me.

It's not weird. She's a nasty piece of work. Take her off your Facebook.

D4rwin · 18/11/2020 19:44

She sounds awful. Block her. Possibly wanted to jump your ex? That's possibly why she wants to stay close to the guy.

mellobrllow · 18/11/2020 21:14

I have removed her.
Got a text a hour later from mutual friend who said
"(Name) said she's had to delete and block you after years of you being vile towards her"

Ehhhhh
I said no I've just removed her as she was bringing too much negativity to my life

She's gone the classic DARVO route. Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim Offender. She will be making out to everyone this is your fault.
Do not play the game and retaliate or try and get your story across. Say nothing to anyone - be very vague and move the conversation along.

It is very hurtful and bewildering when this happens. But a good lesson in the long run.

I haven't replied.
Standard practice for her
I had wondered in the past why all her ex friends were "crazy" now I have my answer

She's not your friend at all, sack her off and raise your standards for friendship.

A friend of mine knows the girl my EXH started seeing after we'd split. He'd actually known her longer than he'd known me but still did the obligatory 'Yep she's a bitch, he's definitely downgraded, it won't last' chat to make me feel better. That's what friends do Grin

What a cow!!!!
Definitely not a friend.

MrsGulDukat · 18/11/2020 23:17

Drop her like a hot turd!!!

I had a friend like her once, she got very nasty when I "stepped out of line." These people enjoy controlling you, much like partners in a relationship.

Some people just like to have a person they can hurt to feel better about themselves. The moment that the hurt doesnt work, they switch to sheer nastiness to get their kicks.

BlueThistles · 19/11/2020 08:26

ok don't even respond to the the friend asking about it ... they will repeat every word you say... 🌺
