Aibu to be upset by this.? A long term friend has over the past few years become friends with a person I’ve known for ages but we’ve never been close. She’s the sort of person who needs to be the centre of attention and resents our long term friendship. She has been telling my friend and others lies about me ( my friend knows they are lies) but I keep seeing pics on fb of the two of them out together. If it was the other way round I’d have nothing to do with her. I’m really hurt about this.

So last night I was visiting my friend . She told the other woman that the stuff she’d said wasn’t true but she rolled her eyes and obviously still thinks she’s right. Still upset that friend continues to see her and have her in the house but from other things she tells me I am more and more convinced this person is a nasty piece of work. I will not give up on a friendship just because she is going through such a hard time. But if the opportunity arises I will be having words with the other one. She is a bully and a spoilt brat.

She resents any time my f spends with her family or other friends.………...If she is visiting often uninvited, and other people come in she goes in a huff!!

I'm amazed that adults behave like this. She sounds like a stroppy and insecure teenager to me. Surely your friend will get to realise what she's like. For the sake of your long standing friendship, I hope it's sooner rather than later.

I think your friendship can weather this storm.
I hope so!

So childish.....and, if you are sure, yes, have a word with her. It's always good to get things off your chest.

I dont think I would want to be friends with her either now, and I wonder if in someway, she is actually enjoying being 'wanted' by you both.
