Friend of mine was shagging a colleague. I told her I didn’t think it would end well. It has not ended well. I’ve just found out that they have both been moved on at work and she has come out of it way worse than he has both professionally and personally.
She told me months ago and I’ve invited her out since on a few occasions and, whilst she’s been polite in her messages, she’s always declined. I’ve taken that to mean she doesn’t want to see me anymore and have stopped asking after her. Was gutted though, she was a good friend and I’ve definitely been upset at not having her around and she’s been in my thoughts a lot.
Have found out recently that the shit has hit the fan. Do I reach out? Part of me thinks she might really need a friend right now and feel too awkward to do as it’s been a while but part of me thinks she knows where I am if she needs me.
For context, she was single, he was not, he was in a position of power. Kids involved.
YANBU: She’s your friend, her life’s in the toilet, she needs you.
YABU: she fucked around and found out, stay out of it.
