I don’t know if this is a silly thing or not but it’s been really bothering me.
I have this friend who is part of a friendship group of 3 (including me). I wouldn’t say we knew each other well but in the last few years the three of us talk fairly regularly and I like her. But she can be quite harsh about people, bitter and jealous.
I don’t tend to ring her one on one. But in the last few months she has rung me outside of the group conversations we have with our mutual friend. Tbh I don’t really want an intense friendship with her. I think she would annoy me too much.
Recently I got a puppy. She’s made some pretty rude comments about it as she doesn’t like dogs. In addition, I have not been around to answer her calls and our mutual friend has cancelled a few of our group calls due to busy work and personal life.
Today I missed a call from her so I said I would ring her back which I did. The conversation lasted a few minutes. In it, she insulted my dog (who I love deeply now), said it was a joke and then asked me why I couldn’t speak tonight. I said I was picking up an item from my mum that I’d ordered for my house. She immediately asked me where it was from and how much and I told her. I regretted this instantly as she has form for constantly telling you that things are a rip off etc etc. Except this time, she kept saying “wow, you are so rich. You order an item for £200, you have a dog and you own a flat in X”
This has massively pissed me off. I could say something but I kind of don’t want the hassle. I just want to get over it, move on and put a bit of distance between us.
Ugh. I think I just need to rant.
