When she's fun, she's amazing.
When she's in a bad mood, everyone has a horrible, awful time and it's just about the most awkward experience imaginable.
When she's in a good mood, I see her and think "She's great! I should see her more."
When she's in a bad mood, she can be really rude and hurtful and it will bother me for a while - I'm not used to any kind of drama or nastiness these days!
She never cancels when she's in a bad mood. Last time I saw her, she'd invited us for a couple of drinks and snacks in her garden before an event, but was in a bad mood when we arrived. She didn't warn us that anything was amiss but when we turned up she was in her PJs, acting like we'd crashed her house and weren't welcome, and that she couldn't think of anything worse than going to the event. It was so weird. She'd been texting about it all day before. The whole evening was really uncomfortable and disappointing and she was really rude. Her husband is nice but seems a bit afraid of her. He's good friends with my husband hence it being more of an issue.
I'm scheduled to go to an event with them next week and I don't want to go because last time I saw her it had been so awkward. DH is putting a bit of pressure on me to go as he thinks it's nice to do something altogether. I am unsure.
What would you do? Keep trying and hope she's in a good mood when we see her? See her less often, because her moodiness seems to happen when we see her more than once in a short period of time? Or just give up altogether for a peaceful life?
I want to stress that when she's great, she's really great! It's just that I'm never sure which version of herself she will be.
Help!
