I need to vent! - Page 2

@JavaQueen This person is NO friend. Personally, I'd drop her like a bad habit. She adds nothing to your life and is a big drag, among other things.

@JavaQueen: Really sorry for you. That stinks!

This woman showed you who she is. Believe her. If it were me, I would have nothing more to do with her.

You only get to break my trust once.

I completely agree with you. Hopefully you feel better after venting. It's not about the money or even the exhibit, it's about the way you were treated.

In the end, she is the loser. Why, because you will probably think twice before spending any time with her. I would smile if I see her and keep going. None of us need takers/users; we all have feelings.

Hope you feel better!

Reading this thread and other threads, it seems to be a common occurence with friends/family/acquaintances wanting to get together, then are late, can't make it at the last minute, change their minds, etc. This is exactly why I don't make plans or go anywhere with anyone but myself. I can depend on myself, where I can't always depend on others. It has happened over and over to me. I'm done with it. If someone wants to get together, I just say I can't and leave it at that.

I promise to remind myself every day that I am strong, courageous, and resilient.

Telling, indeed, but not 'little'. Geez, that was pretty much beyond the pale. Near as I can tell, anymore, manners and common courtesy are obsolete concepts.

That is really very rude and not nice at all. Now there is the possibility that she got the tickets for them and they are paying her. However if she did that she could have ask you if you wanted her to pick one up for you also. The next time she ask you to fix something I believe I would be busy and just not have the time.

But the problem was that she was buying the OP a ticket already, then she took some bizarre turn, only purchasing tickets for the other friends, and left OP out. Really strange! I would be offended at the strange turn this took.

Don't commit to doing something and then not do it. That makes a person seem not a friend at all, IMO.

I am so sorry for you @JavaQueen.

If it makes you feel better, I had a similar experience with an actual family member who invited me as return payment for putting out money and then never spoke to me about it again.

I let her hang herself on Facebook when the day of the event she "checked in" as she and her best friend were in their seats awaiting the show.

I guess my silence got to her and I got an "OMG I must have missed your email when you accepted my invitation" the very next day.

Funny how that happens when you reply back two seconds after the email invite pops up. And she just happened to remember it and me the day after. She and I have been done ever since.

In your situation, I woudn't go scorched earth but just consider now you know what kind of a "friend" she plans to be to you in the future.

She is really passive agressive! Difficult to deal with that behavior. It is, intentionally or subconsciously, designed to put you down. If you speak up or try to tell her how you feel you will end up feeling even worse. She'll act like you are wrong to feel that way. I say cut your losses. Ignore the slight so the game will end. Be civil to her but let her go.
