NWR: ETA

Edited because I just found out my friend's sister comes on here.

I just saw a segment on the today show about breaking up with friends, but wouldn't you know, I don't remember it!

I would probably ignore the calls.

It's not you, it's me....it's something that IM going through right now...

Kidding.

I'd tell her why you feel that way in a gentle manner. Sometimes people aren't always aware of the negativity they send out. I doubt she WANTS to be a debbie downer, ya know?

Honestly, I'd just hope she got the hint.  I could never break up with a friend--I'm not saying I'm right, I just know how I operate.

I would just avoid her advances. Avoidance is one of my favourite de-friending tools.

I have had this happen before and i ignored the girl for a while and then she got a bf and started ignoring me. It was perfect. I have also had my BF tell me she thought I was a slut and I addressed that outright. No one gets to tell you you're a slut! Not great friends or bad friends. I would stand up and say something, because that is not something you just let slide.

[QUOTE]You say, ya know, here's the deal. Remember back when when you called me a slut? It hurt my feelings, and I've had a hard time seeing past that. (then you take a little heat yourself and say) "And I know it's something that I need to work on too, because I take those statements to heart and feel badly when people I like think those kind of things about me, and so I'm just having a hard time seeing where you're coming from in wanting to spend time with me?" Or ya know. Something like that. I'd just tell her to suck it if it were me, but I think you're way nicer than I am. ;)

This: The first part, and then the second part if the first part isn't understood. ;) I think she lost her privilege of you being nice to her when she called you a slut and treated you badly because of her own issues.

And also, I almost clapped when I saw the title of this thread, because I thought it might be about your BM. :) But even though it's not, it's nice to see you taking a stand for yourself and trying to eliminate negative influences from your life. Go Poli!

Ah Beatles, I can see why you'd think it would be that BM! In regards to that situation, I haven't really seen her for about a month. I sent out a friendly e-mail a month ago letting them know what the story was about which color family for shoes and also giving them the head's up that their hotel was covered. I also asked them to pick out a purse that they'd like from an etsy store that I'll be buying them (instead of having them carry flowers). She's the only one who hasn't gotten back to me.

I'm kind of over it. I still see her bf/my guy friend, so I'm sure I'll run into her, but otherwise I'm so done.
