C&P from the lounge, just to get the consensus of you ladies.
It looks like I just found out why my 'best friend' has been alienating me and been so rude and stuff, excluding me from parties, not talking to me after everything I've done for her/with her.
Awesome.
She said she wanted to get together and talk about why she was mad. She was busy last night; I'm busy tonight. I suggested tomorrow before I go play trivia with the University of Arkansas Fort Smith professors (I'm SO EXCITED about that because one is going to write me a recommendation so I can start using my Master's and TEACHING NEXT FALL!
)
She said "comments like that have been the problem. Maybe we'll get together when you're not playing trivia with the UAFS professors." She said it in a really snarky way.
OUCH. I thought she'd be happy for me! What is wrong with what I said?!
She just added, "It feels like you rub stuff in my face. And for wanting to talk so bad you cancel? It feels like you're trying to get me back for something. I wish you luck in getting the teaching job. It has nothing to do with not wanting you to be happy, I thought you were sticking with your current job, Stories change a lot and I never get the whole story. It's just been a lot of little shit that I have let go and let go cause it wasn't worth a fight with a friend but I feel less and less like a friend every time we have hung out lately. Holiday Market was the topper." (The Junior League private event I took her to where I blew $200 on new clothes for her and paid for her ticket and drinks) She went on to add "I don't know who you are and where you're going anymore."
....this is absolutely crazy, she has been biting my head off for months. Ever since I got this job and got my car and joined the junior league.
I hate to say it because it sounds so narcissistic but... is she like... jealous or something???? It's the ONLY thing that makes sense...! We've been texting and she is unloading on me, saying I'm always trying to one up her, saying every time we talk it's been about the guys I'm dating (.... isn't that what you talk to friends about?) or about my car... she is forgetting all the times she hasn't wanted to talk when I've asked her if she is ok and if things are OK with her boyfriend and her kids. She said "I'm never as good as you" just now. Then starts ranting about my car, my clothes, my other friends.... What. The. F.
