'Friend'

[Spied]

A woman I know has kind of woven her way into my life.
We met on the school run, had a coffee and exchanged numbers. Had a few days out ( places she wants to go)
Our 'friendship' is now at the stage where I have to explain myself to her and feel like I can't do as I please. I'm completely dumbstruck as to how I've got into this situation. Aware I'm probably a doormat but I've had mh issues and tbh I was pleased this woman was friendly and interested in my life.
I now have to account for what I'm doing on my days off work ( if she wants to meet up) If I say I'm busy and tell her what I'm doing she will say it's not important and laugh at my plans and if I simply say 'Im busy' then she will hound me until I tell her what I'm doing.
She laughs at my job and brags that she makes more on an hour than I do etc.
She even puts down my dc's after school activities saying their hobbies are rubbish.
Last week she made a personalised item for me and demanded the money for it even though I said I would not be ordering yet as I couldn't afford it. I went to her house and grudgingly paid. Whilst there she more or less forced my young DD to have one of the things she makes (arts) Now I owe for that too.
Sorry for the ramble. Needed to offload.
Wwyd? Ghost? Ignore? Revenge?

Ghost! She isn’t your mate, she bullies you and sees you as an easy mark

Ghost

Block and move on.

Nasty cow bag.

She’s being horrible to you. You need to stand up for yourself more effectively or just keep away from her.

I’m not in favour of ghosting without an explanation as she probably knows where you stay and may turn up!

I’d prob send her a message saying. ‘I’m not going to be in touch for a while as I have family stuff to deal with so i hope everything goes well for you and I’ll catch up with you at some point”

If she comes back asking ‘what’s up’ don’t speak to her on the phone, ignore her calls, just text her. ‘Sorry I’m tied up with stuff just now, don’t want to talk about it, I’m fine don’t worry, catch up another time’.

Then block her if she won’t leave you alone. You have been polite. You owe her nothing.

Thanks for the advice.
I think she knows I am really pissed off as haven't heard from her since last night when I didn't reply to her asking about my plans for today. This is unusual.
Strangely I feel oddly guilty for not replying or messaging her today. I'm definitely not going to though.
I'd be better off with no friends than a bully and cf like her.

This woman will NOT help your mental health one iota.
Feel no guilt whatsoever about her - she'll soon find someone else to use and belittle to make herself feel better.

Don't feel guilty, you owe her nothing, and I seriously wouldn't pay for whatever it was that she insisted on your daughter taking from her. If she chases you for money, just tell her that your daughter didn't want it, but felt obliged to take it at the time, however, you can't afford it, and therefore you'd rather she took it back. Other than that, just don't bother to respond to her, as a PP said, she'll soon find someone else to bully and belittle.

Avoid her, ignore her messages, be short with her on school run etc.

She'll soon get picture

You need to block her on everything. She's a leech.

@Spied how has it gone over the last week? Has she got the message? X
