I don’t know if I should cut this “friend” out of my life. I must start by saying other friends have cut her out and have warned me she only uses me when it suits her. Ie if I’m going somewhere, she will tag along and often somehow manage to get me to pay or use my free pass, get a free lift etc. if she’s got plans with other friends, she never invites me and over the years I’ve been really hurt by this is I include her in everything. She’s been to my families special events etc. I feel like I’ve always classed her as a better friend than she has me, but at the same time, I’m her child’s godmother etc so surely she seems me as a close friend? I’m not sure if she just doesn’t know how to treat people. I decided that I like hanging out with her, our children play nice together and that I’d just treat her the same way in future and just treat it as a surface friendship when it was convenient for me too, but I find this super hard as it’s just not the person I am. Having this attitude has helped me not to feel so upset when she drops me. Yesterday we had plans. She text last min to re arrange because her child was no longer available. She could have still made the plans on her own. My child was upset. She now wants to meet up today, but I feel like cancelling because I’m still upset. AIBU to think she’s just using me when convenient? Or should I just carry on being surface friendship when it suits me and my children too? I find it hard as my other close friends who tell me she’s using me, don’t really do much socially. I maybe see them 4 x per year. So is it best to keep this friend and accept she will let us down? Or cut her out of our lives?
