To find this clingy behaviour frustrating?

[herealone]

Friend text to ask if I was being off with her - I wasn’t. All I’d done is meet a mutual friend for dinner and didn’t invite her. This one incident got talked about to death. I’ve assured her plenty of times it wasn’t personal.

Now she’s asking again if I’m being off with her.

I can’t keep having this same conversation. It’s boring. Am I being horrible?

Do you actually like this friend? Why didn’t you invite her with the mutual friend?

Really?

People aren’t allowed to go out in twos?

It doesn’t sound as if you like her. I don’t blame you - I wouldn’t like this silly behaviour either.

So - what are you going to do?

You're not joined at the hip, people are allowed to have more than one friend. You may share differnt interests or life choices to the other. No harm done imo. Would she have felt the same if you had only invited her out and not the other, would she have gotten offended on your other friends behalf???? Probably not.

*different...(stupid fingers)

@Ace56 was in no way suggesting you were not allowed to go out as a couple, essentially she OP? So no need to be quite so unpleasantly blunt in reply.
There question was merely whether you liked your friend and why you couldn't have gone as a trio. They are simple questions

Right back at you.

So bloody boringly predictable posts like these. You take care now 😘

I think it’s because I explained it wasn’t done maliciously or to purposely exclude her. We had that conversation twice. It’s too much.

Like there should be a point for everyone that you either accept what the other person says and move on or if you can’t then end the friendship if that’s what’s right for you.

Out you pop 🥰

Do people invent threads just so they can be deliberately rude to anyone who replies?

Exactly and she also didn’t say anything to the mutual friend either.

I couldn't stand this. Ask once, OK. Banging on about it repeatedly, no way. I'd have to tell her one final time that no, she hadn't done anything wrong and to please not ask anymore as it was turning a non event into a massive issue. Any more questions along those lines I'd totally ignore and move onto other topics of conversation.

Yeah exactly this, I need to work on being more assertive.

Imagine commenting twice, someone’s starved of attention.

I guess you’ve got what you need from the thread, OP - work on your, um, assertiveness.

Maybe just channel the way you’re behaving on here.
