Il start by saying I'm not a nasty person but I'm a tiny bit annoyed.
My friend rang me at work today at 12 saying her dog was ill and she was getting out to sleep at 4pm.
She asked could I take her and she didn't want to be alone.
I was at work but I left 4 hours early (so I will loose nearly £50)
I drove to hers.
Got there and she said her ex boyfriend is now taking her so doesn't need me to take her.
This is her ex of 4 weeks who she is still in love with,he cheated on her and has been vile to her.
Now I just said yeah sure no worries (as obviously it's a terrible day for her with her dog dying etc )
But at the same time I've just drove a hour to yours lost £50 and instead your going with some snake ex boyfriend who has treated you like shit
Aibu ?

YANBU

Shame you don’t have the voting activated. Crappy thing for her to do, just not thinking I’d give her a pass THIS TIME

BUT

So not offer again to take time off from work for her. Tell her why if she asks again

@LouiseTrees I've told her she's making herself look stupid.
She keeps asking him why he isn't fighting for her.
I keep telling her he isn't worth it.
I hope she starts realising he's a waste of space.

such a shame 😔

I would definitely be annoyed, but not make a big deal of it, she was having a terrible day.

But definitely think twice about dropping everything for her in future, when she is so quick to drop you for her ex. I would not take time off for her again and be quite direct as to why.

Sad about the dog but you need to say no to her!
You can’t lose money like this.

annjohn55 · 25/11/2020 10:07

She tried to say her ex wanted to say goodbye to the dog,I don't believe it for one second.
She will probably have said she had nobody to go with and couldn't do it alone (which is fine if you want to say that ) but at least inform me so I don't loose out.
Years ago when she first started seeing him,me and her were out for a night out (just the two of us) he was out also and she left me to go look for him as he wasn't texting her back.
So I had to walk home alone as our pre booked taxi wasn't for another 2 hours.

and yet you are still running to her distress horn 🤔

Luciferthecat666 · 25/11/2020 11:21

YANBU to be annoyed that she didn't tell you ex was going instead OP but I wouldn't say anything to her about it as her head is clearly a mess as you said you know how it feels to have to go through losing a pet.

Based your posts OP it sounds like she isn't much of a friend anyway if she drops you for the ex, actually she sounds like a user to be honest. I don't mean to be harsh but I'd be rethinking the friendship though if she thinks its ok to drop you and but then expects you to drop everything and come running to her when she has a crisis, it sounds like a one sided friendship.
