Friends
18 Answers
I have known a friend for over 50 years and she has been the dominant one in our friendship.
Over the years I have become more confident and outspoken and the friend still brings me down.
If I haven’t been in touch for a while she doesn’t get in touch with me and then goes round telling everyone that we know mutually that I’m at fault.it really doesn’t matter who is at fault because it turns back to me.
I’ve always agreed but now I can’t be bothered any more she had a new conservatory a few years ago and then I got one during the first lockdown and she told me that I had copied her. We have 8 n our house hold and it was a joint decision from all of us.
So as I have not seen or heard from her and I hadn’t been in touch with her I was going to leave the friendship to die but my Husband bumped in to her and she went on at him about me not being in touch and my husband said to me leave it be now as he thinks some friendships are not worth continuing with.
Should I get back in touch or just leave it as it is.
The friend also runs my family down.

You have to be the one to change.
Don't put up with her behaviour any longer. Don't get in touch, and ignore her nasty comments to others about you.
Other people are likely to know exactly what kind of person she is, so they won't pay much attention to her comments. You are better off without her.

She is not your friend. She is someone who probably enjoys controlling you and making you feel less worthy than her. She obviously thinks you need her more than she needs you. Prove her wrong. I would not let it fizzle though, I would tell her you are moving on and are no longer prepared to put up with her behaviour. If you can't face her personally then email or write to her, put yourself in control and ask her not to get in touch with you again. What she says about you to other people, you have no control over/ Personally, I would not want 'friends' who believe things about me or my family said by someone who is malicious. They are not friends either.
