Do I just end it all?

My ex and I broke up in August after I found out he was a liar and he ended it with me very cruelly.
The problem is my best friend is his sister.
I think I need to end our friendship.
Last night she had a New Years party and I wasn't invited(he was there with new gf) I sat home alone.
She didn't speak at all no New Years text or anything.
I feel like a outcast now.
She mentions him all the time how he has moved on etc how he has lost weight.
Almost as if she is rubbing my nose in it.
She hated us being together.
She didn't invite me to a Halloween party as he was there.
Monday we were going for lunch and I was heading to her place and she said I had to stand on the corner in the rain as he was in her house and it would be too awkward.

I think I need a clean break from them all.

Blimey, with friends like that who needs enemies? Seriously, dump her and move on swiftly. Otherwise how much longer will you be hanging around waiting for her to be nice?

In the nicest way just recognise this is over and stop any kind of contact. No text, no FB, nothing. It will be a relief for both of you. Then pick up the phone and get socialising with your other friends who, I hope are nicer people than this individual.

And stop the 'Show him what he's missing' for your own sake.

Over is over.

......and please keep the brunette. You are fine as you are - dark roots are not a good look. Best revenge is to live well and be happy. Keep your dignity at all times - don't let her get your back up, block her and his numbers and move on.

Like incest? What a bitch. And I agree regarding the hair, only change it if you want too and not because you want his attention. Don't cheapen yourself.

I think probably you do need to move on from this friendship as it sounds like it is damaging you.

Constantly mentioning him and his weight loss etc to you is not very kind/sensitive and the comments about people crashing their cars are just toxic.

However, regarding her parties and not inviting you because her brother is there, I dont think you are being fair to her, it did not end amicably between you two and of course her loyalty is going to be to her family.

If you look at it objectively, it would be kind of a weird dynamic to have your siblings ex at a family party when it didnt end well and he is there with his new partner and everyone just wants to have a nice time with no drama or awkwardness.

Be kind to yourself, delete, block, or unfollow on facebook if her posts are only bringing you down. Its time to distance yourself from this family, and like others have said, its not about showing him what he's missing, that just makes it sound like you are still hung up on him and are pining over him and their family parties.
