She wants attention. That's what lairs do they lie to get attention. My ex lied about alot of things and till today lies to get attention from other women. so they feel sorry for hhim and they will give him sex and attention. Just let her know that it's okay that she doesn't have to lie for you to be her friend. She is maybe in denial about the baby. Try to get her to loosen up around you. maybe she'll stop the lying.

friendship

Quote From: eday1987

Hey You this is Eric and yes from what I've read obviouy that you two have a really good relationship because like you said you all spent a whole lot of time together. I was more intrigued when I was reading the part when you and your friend split up and talked less frequent and other people involved. Im dying to tell you that isnt going anywhere. Im getting this sense you're not jealous but afraid because you think someone is taking your place.  There are times in life when very close friends seperat that doesnt mean she cares for you any less. Just because you and her apart doesnt meant shes not in you heart because she is. i wouldnt cut her off. you two are alike.

Hi Eric, thanks for your reply.  I did talk to a few other people and they are of the same opinion.  I could not bring myself to cut her out of my life completely, as I really do value her friendship.  I did tell her to meet with me for lunch and did indicated to her that I was extremely disappointed with her behaviour.  She admitted that she was wrong and she promised to  be in touch more often, but I don't know how  good she is at keeping her promise.  The thing is that  she lives and works literally a stone throw from where I live and work  and that is the hard part.  Anyways let's see how good is her promise.  Thanks again.

I'm sorry that you had to go through this.  I can relate in an abstract way.  When an individual wants so much to have a friend, they do just about anything including believing what the other person has to say.  When we find out the truth, we become badily burned that we're scarred for 'life'.   This is sad that this individual lost two precious lives in a terrible accident.  With grief, it's possible that she fabricated the story to feel good about her loss; why does this happen?  I don't know; this woman is grieving.  You are grieving because you felt lied to; she's grieving because there was two unexpected deaths in the same time.  Be a friend in regards to her grieving; grieve together.  Let her know how you feel as well.  I hope this helps in some way; please keep in touch.  I'd like to know how both of you are doing :)

strain on a friendship getting blown off

 

 

I watched my friends 2 sons while she went to a taping for Dr Phil Show recently and have been off work due to a surgery and was offered some money to do this for her. But since she has returned the check  for babysitting from Dr Phil Show is still not here. Surprise surprise!! I keep getting told everyone is playing phone tag with each other and  I really needed this money but I just keep getting the run around. My friend and I used to talk and see each other everyday but for the last few weeks she has blown me off... I'm pissed off by this point and don't know which way to turn... any suggestions?
