We were close friends at school, 35 years old now.
I'm not sure if her husband has any involvement as a few of us find him quite controlling and although he doesn't have to like me or the others, on the few occasions we see him he can at least have basic manners. A conversation with him usually goes "Hi, how are you doing?" Him" "Yeah I'm fine." The end.
Anyway,there was a big event last week as 2 of the friendship group are getting married soon and I get invited to these big events but there's not really any sort of friendship outside of that.
I think that was the first time I'd seen that friend in over a year. The times prior to that were me travelling to meet her new baby, and the times before her child were pretty much still me travelling to her.
She's married into money and loves to drop hints about it quite a lot. She casually told us how her husband always needs at least 10,000 in his savings as a minimum (not sure why this information is important or relevant)
She's in the local council and has been promoted again, she took great pleasure in telling me how she's in senior management and then said to me 'Oh what is it you do again, you work at X don't you?' And got the job wrong.
I'm trying to progress but the market is tough, and it is a sore point.
I get life is busy and so on, but everyone works, everyone has responsibilities. I never, ever get a message even just to see how I am, she's snubbed invites to my home that I bought, doesn't seem to have an interest in meeting my new partner etc.
I feel she thinks she's above me and I'm sort of 'coasting' in life because I'm not married with 2.5 kids and a fancy detached home. She also loves telling us all how fancy her 60k car is and what it does.
I guess there's no friendship anymore. I sound jealous but I'd rather be alone forever than married to him. Of course I wish I had the money but I hate show offs. She just doesn't seem to give a toss about me either.
