There are currently 2 threads talking about remarks deemed to be hurtful in some way, have you been in such a situation where you really want to end the friendship for good?
I have posted many times about a friend of mine of 40+ years. She is only interested in her family and their financial worth and her GC's outstanding educational brilliance, but folk just smile and get on with it.
However she is the queen of cutting remarks.
Her H died 5 years ago and her S' s stayed initially sorting things but had to go back to their own lives after a few days.
She rang me to ask if I would go with her to register the death.
About 3 months ago, I was having coffee with her and another friend when for some reason, the subject cropped up.
Without even glancing at me, she said " the boys asked M if she would go with me but she couldn't., so now for the first time Ann knows she was only second choice "
It was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I was staggered at her nerve and since then, I have never rung her, although I answer the phone to her.
I never visit when the other friend does.
I will see her on Tuesday when we go for lunch for the other friends birthday, but that is it.
She hasn't realised of course. That is a measure of her self centeredness.
