My friend got into a relationship maybe 4 years ago.
Well meet up and she’ll slate his mum as being controlling and too involved. Then the next time you see her and say “how’s things with x’s mum?” she will look at you blankly and say how wonderful she is.
She does it with his sister, so many of his friends. One female in his friendship group was the devil and then you ask how things are and suddenly they are best friends
