Hey all - I’m in a bit of a pickle and could use some serious advice.
At first, our friendship was great, but when she started to have issues with her boyfriend, I felt that the friendship shifted. Especially because I made it known that I was not a fan of that relationship with her boyfriend and I was always vocal about it. I was always supportive no matter how much I did not like him. I listened to her vent and was always there when she needed to get away from her house.
So, here are my reasons for thinking that she does not value my friendship.
She constantly belittles me and makes me feel less than. She never congratulates me on my successes. She does not respect my boundaries when I tell her I don’t want to hang out with her boyfriend and will proceed to bring the boyfriend where ever we are. She always has to one up the conversation and then make it about herself while I am in the middle of venting.
There are more but I don’t want to make this too long.
To give you a background on her:
She comes from a broken family who is not supportive of her and she’s had a lot of failed friendships. She loves to gossip and talk bad about her friends behind their backs.
Victim mentality 24/7 which hurts me to say but this goes back to always having to one up the other person. She has a drinking problem as well thanks to her shitty boyfriend which resulted in her getting pulled over and charged with a DWI.
I took days off of work to drive her to her court appearances.
I honestly could keep going, but this is getting too long already and I’m so sorry. I appreciate any advice at this point.
Long story short - is this a dead friendship?
I’m 35 and I know not everyone has their life together, but I want to surround myself with people that want to do better and be better.
