Hello Mumsnet
My friend, let's call her Claire, and I went to school together. We wee very close as teenagers and in our early twenties. But she moved to a different city, we both got married and had kids and we kind of drifted apart quite a bit. There was a tie where we em were very close and stayed for extended time with each other, even though we had our own places. But that's a very long time ago. We now barely see each other. Anyway, she came to visit me last week and since we haven't seen or spoken to each other in ages ( about a six to eight months ) before that, I suggested she stays overnight so we could properly catch up. It's was like someone you know well but don't have much knowledge about their life. Anyway the catch up was good but it was no where like before and we are just very different people now.
Anyway, in the morning, we were having breakfast and she went upstairs to use the bathroom. She took quite a bit of time so I went up to check on her. And to my surprise found her in my walk in, trying my clothes! I didn't really know what to say. I was just so taken aback. She was laughing and saying how my style had changed and etc... and as I stood there, continued to pull clothes and shoes out and start them. I kind of said how I don't like people in my room and if we could just leave please and don't worry about putting things back.
She seemed insulted and left in abit of a huff. The atmosphere was terrible after that as she got ready to leave and said that I made her feel like she was stealing from me she was just doing what we used to do when we were younger. I was too amazed to say anything clever but did put my foot down in that I told her that o felt it was a breach of my privacy and personal space.
It's been bothering me ever since. I spoke to a commencing friend who said I was been a hit over the top as she probably didn't mean anything by it.
AIBU??? Is this normal?? Am I being over the top really??
