Hi Mumsnetters.
Have a friend who lives in the same village as me. We run into each other fairly regularly (probably about once a week on dog walks) and go for the odd drink when we can diaries to match! She is aware that I’ve been job hunting for a few months after a difficult time at work (although I am mindful of not going on about it to her because it’s not that interesting to other people really).
Last week I landed my first choice of job, which I feel so happy and relieved about. We were going out for drinks with some friends one night (unrelated to the job offer). My other friend mentioned the new job and gave me a card (I had texted her beforehand but I hadn’t brought it up that evening). I briefly filled her in on it (but again, tried to be mindful not to let it dominate the conversation).
My other friend has barely spoken to me since (we would normally message in the week) and has not even congratulated me on. I appreciate the world doesn’t revolve around me and it isn’t that interesting to other people if I change jobs, but I suppose I hoped that she might be a bit more congratulatory about it. She does seem to be very off with me. Do I just let it go? I am probably overthinking it but I do feel a little hurt. If the boot had been on the other foot, I would have been delighted for her.
