QAZ Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I have a friend that i've known for a few years now. She is my husband's best buddy's wife. She is someone I have tried to develop a deeper relationship with, but she seems too busy for me most of the time and I hadn't made much of it since she is extremely social and loves juggling many friends. What bothers me is that I see a pattern - she always seems to have time for the newer friends that I have introduced to her. I get the feeling she doesn't care for me much, but is just using me to expand her network. And I naturally find myself disliking conversations where my friends mention how so thoughtful and friendly she is. Sometimes I feel that's the way life is, but other times I feel sick about this relationship and just want to end this superficial drama. What's your suggestion ? Link to post Share on other sites
Ronni_W Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 If I'm reading it correctly, it's also that those "newer friends" (your "older friends", I'm interpreting) are not making time for, or including, you when they do stuff with her -- is that accurate? Presumably you have a closer connection with the other friends, so perhaps you can have a heart-to-heart with them, that you're having a sense of possibly being excluded and ask if they can clue you in about what might be going on. As for the future, I'd stop introducing her to any more of your friends. Link to post Share on other sites
