'friend' constantly messaging WWYD

[sashanatasha]

NC for this but a regular. This is not a close friend and I've gone off her a lot lately anyway because she's started an affair with MM

I'm a lone parent, she's single no dcs. I have been ill (suspected coronavirus) which she literally ignored and then started saying how upset she was about the lockdown. I feel like she's had an empathy bypass tbh.

I don't really want to be friends any more I think, but would be happy to let things drift or just see her rarely. However, now she's bored and obviously home alone she messages several times a day. Sending me videos and articles and things which I don't want to look at. Busy with dcs etc and trying to avoid too much social media while I recover. Is it rude just not to reply? I feel guilty. WWYD here.

Just don’t reply.

Ignore her. Life is hard enough at the moment.

Just don't reply, she'll get the message.

Who is MM?

Married Man

Sorry MM is a Married Man (with dcs ) who she's having an affair with. Although how that would work right now who knows.

I feel bad I suppose just to ignore, as I know she's on her own. Grateful for the replies though.

Put her on mute if it’s on whatsapp and don’t bother answering.

Ignore or reply saying you're taking a break from social media/internet so you wont be replying.

Then block.

Thanks yes that's a good idea to say I'm taking a break. I won't block her but it will make me feel better about not replying.

Definitely take a break and try and distance yourself OP! She sounds hard work and uncaring from what you say.

I had to cut off a similar friend over a year ago it was so hard but honestly i do not regret it

Just jute her if you don’t want to block her

Thanks - How do I do this Chloemol ?

She would have been blocked and ignored the moment she chose to enter that relationship. Clearly not a nice, decent person.
