NC
Not too many details as outing.
A friend of just over 2 years duration who we became close to very quickly has basically dumped us now she's met someone. We were her bubble saw her x 4 a week at least.... Now nothing.

Very new relationship very intense. Some signs already it may be controlling. We did quite a lot for her. It's quite awkward as both dcs querying why she's just disappeared. The rare occasions we do see her (always with him) she's awkward and strange, seems to want to just get us out of the way.

I'm both angry and upset and querying saying something. Ive also caught her out lying on a few occasions and wonder if she's a bit of a user.

Should I say something? Will have to be via message as if I try F2F she'll just make an excuse and leave. Or wondering if I'm best just washing my hands of her. 2 years isn't that long and wondering if I knew her that well after all. True colours and all that...

When you say we/us, do you mean you and DC or do you have a DP too? If so, then it sounds like she's been the single friend spending time with your family and now she's got her own DP so she's enjoying that time and if it wasn't for covid, she might well bring her DP along when she hung out with you all, but obviously that's not an option now. Sounds like she's in the early stages where they don't want to be parted, which can be annoying, but equally if you're with a DP and she's been single a while, you can't really judge. Well, you can if you want, but then, as you say, maybe the friendship wasn't that strong anyway.

Me, DC's, DH. It is all strange at the moment because of covid I agree. Maybe things will change once restrictions are lifted. We'll see.
