Oh dear, might be long.
Basically, I was best friends with a Mum at school, we met when our DD's started Reception, they're now in Year 6. We became very close, had great times together, and were best friends. Things started to change about two years ago. She split up from her Husband, before things started to change between us, then a while after her break up she met another man, and this is when she really started to change. She also has her own business, and as well as being completely obssessed with her new realtionship (which lasted about 9 months, and ended about a year ago.) She also became very wrapped up in her work to the point where she became very self obssessed.
So that's a little bit of background, more recently she has been freezing me out more and more, for no reason. We've been on a few nights out as part of a group, and a few times on these occasions she's said that she misses the old times but does nothing to try and put things right. I must stress that this situation has come about due to the changes in her as a person. I haven't done anything to contribute to it.
We went out on last week in a group of other Mums from school, and at the end of the evening they said they were going home. Another Mum and I weren't ready to call it a night, so we went on to another bar. We found out the next day back at school, that after we left the group, the others didn't go home, they went on to another bar themselves, and it was all engineered by this friend that I'm having problems with. The Mum that I went on somewhere else with, and I, have become good friends, and I've wondered if my other 'friend' has a problem with this? Maybe she's a bit jealous of my new friendship? I know though, that she didn't want us with her and the group when they went on to another bar, as she clearly has a problem with me at the moment, and she doesn't seem to like my other friend either.
The thing is, our DD's are best friends. They're going to different secondary schools, so we will have to have some contact to arrange for the girls to see each other, but this is going to be really awkward. As things stand at the moment we're not speaking to each other, the relationship has broken down that much.
Sorry this is a load of waffle, but just wondered if anyone had any thoughts. I personally think her problem is jealousy, as if I really think back to when she started being funny with me, it was at a time when my DD started doing very well in school. Without going into too much detail, my DD and hers were involved in similar things in school, and my DD excelled and hers didn't. Could that be it?
