Have you ever felt as if you are involved in a friend's relationship, without wishing to be?

I have a newish (lovely) friend, but am feeling as if I'm being "used" in a way, between my friend and her partner.

For example, she has informed him that I'm keen to go on holiday, just with her - for a few days in a caravan.
The point being that I'm not!

If they argue, she comes round to me, and then they spend her whole visit texting back and forth, or he'll phone and I get told "shhhhh" - in my own home!!!

Has anyone ever found themselves in this kind of situation, because I'm finding it very stressful, and starting to get resentful.

If I wanted a messed up relationship, I'd have one of my own; I don't want to be dragged into someone else's.

I also feel that I'm used as an excuse - "Oh, she needed help" which I do, quite frequently, but not as often as is being said, plus I always, always, pay my way, which again, I'm not sure is being made clear.
