Best, drama-free way to disengage from someone?

I have a feeling that a friend of mine is being spiteful and unkind about me behind my back. Two people have recently told me things that she has said.

To be honest this has come as no surprise to me as she is always nice if it is just me and her, but if there is another person there too she's quite smirky and quite offhand with me. I went to her house last week and she had invited another friend round, and they kept collapsing into giggles about something that I clearly wasn't party to.

So I think it is best if I just disengage with her. I really cannot be bothered to tackle her on her behaviour, as I think fundamentally she isn't being a very pleasant person.

Problem is our children are at school together and we live several doors' apart.

How can I keep things pleasant and drama-free whilst at the same time cutting her off as a friend?

You can do it, subtly, stay friendly but be busy every time she asks, she sounds absolutely horrible, so really, it shouldn't be a big surprise, just make out you always have something on when she tries to pin you down.

You just have to be very busy where she is concerned, no big dramas, let her drift off.........
