Frenemies

Apparently, my happiness has brought out the worst in two of my friends.  I'm not someone who needs everyone to be happy for me or to be the center of attention and I have been genuinely happy for all of my friends in their joy over the years, no matter my personal circumstances in life. 

However, I've had two friends completely cut me out of their lives with no explanation, no fight, nothing.  They are not friends with each other and it didn't happen at the same time- about 4 months apart.  One I have been friends with for 5 years, the other 8 1/2.  These are women I counted among my closest friends.  It's baffled everyone who is friends with them, as well.  And there's not a thing I can do about it, since I tried reaching out and am met with silence.

Has anyone else experienced this?  What did you do?  It hurts, but ultimately, it shows their true colors, I think.

    Nope.  I'm very careful about what I post on FB in general.  I don't engage in any kind of religious or political debate and I don't post things that I wouldn't want everyone in the world to know about me.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re:Frenemies: Good question. My dad's mom has unfriended my dad and actually stopped all forms of communications with him because of his political and regilious beliefs. Op, I was closer to them a few years ago vs now. I know for sure one person unfriended me because she felt she is prettier/skinnier/whatever to be engaged before me. I know at least one felt I am disrespecting my sister by getting engaged. Apparently it is disrepectful for an older sibling to get married after a younger sibling and doubly so when said younger sibling is pregnant. I suspect a few others were because to them I would no longer "available" to them, they were exes who would occasionally try to get me to cheat on FH.

    I kinda wonder about this with the first friend.  It feels like something she might do, which means our friendship was never real in the first place, at least not for her.  Makes me sad.
