I am so bored today. Things are very slow today at work and I need some entertaining. So, let's chat. Talk about anything, what you're doing this weekend. Vents? Irritations? Favorite dance move?
Oh, I have an irritation. I will try to keep it short.
I have a friend A, and a friend B. I was/am very good friends with both of them. I stood up in A's wedding a few years ago, and I will be standing up in B's in October. They are both somehwhat friends, me being their common ground. A and I are no longer friends. She is what you would call a Debbie Downer. Finding the negative in situations and people, basically she is a b*tch. It never bothered me because that was just who she was. People would tell me all the time how rude/mean etc she is and I would always defend her, she was one of my best friends. Well over the past few years or so she has gotten pretty bad. Not just talking about petty HS stuff, but peoples lives. Criticizing them and pretty much talking sh*t. It got to me and I realized how could I be friends with someone who says such hurtful things about people I care about. So I just slowly stopped talking to her.
Before my friendship with A went downhill, she said some pretty awful things about B. Talking badly about her financial situation, parenting skills, etc. I kept my mouth shut, not wanting to hurt B, but then I heard it from more people; A talking crap. I finally told B and she was hurt but relieved. She was ready to let go of the friendship too.
Fast forward. They both had baby girls, literally a day apart. And now that both kids are a year old they have been going on play dates and what not. That is where my irritation comes in. I get having something in common, but when someone is talking crap about you, in serious ways, why the heck would you want to continue to see them?! Honestly, it pisses me off. Because B and her FI are VERY good friends with my FI and I, and we hang out quite often, and neither boys like A. B has told me recent that she is done trying to be this girls friend, and doesn't want to be around her. But I am seeing all over FB about how they had so much fun at their play dates and can't wait for the next time and whatever. so yes, it bugs me. I basically ended my friendship with A because she was badmouthing my best friends, but B still hangs out with her behind my back.
Wow, that was totally not short. If you read this, you are awesome and give me your HONEST opinions. Am I just crazy? Or is my irritation justified?
