Awkward situation with 'friend'


Recommended Posts

My SO was like 'Who can I set her up with.' lol. She is almost 40 and divorced so she might be feeling bitter.

Hhhmmmm. You (&BF) don't have the most gracious attitude towards her, maybe she's picking up on this and acting out because of it...plus I think Lois Griffen is onto something too.

He said that as a joke to me as a result of her behaviour. When an almost 40 yr old woman acts immaturely like that, there aren't many other ways to react. We have never acted rudely towards her in person. We have been perfectly pleasant when we have done stuff together so she has no justified reason to "act out." We have only spoken about it between him and I.

Are you sure you aren't her? ;) haha.

 

I am not in the UK, in fact I'm in the southern hemisphere, so no it's not me. :lmao: & I'm already past 40!!

 

You seem to have placed yourself 'above' her according to the way you write, this women is likely picking up on this even though you've said nothing (in your opinion) to cause offence. I can pick up on your "I'm prettier, younger, better than" attitude over the internet on the other side of the world, so it's pretty likely she can in person.

 

Like I said before Lois Griffen is onto something, I'd bet my left arm these 2 have history, you don't know about.

 

Also, divorced women around 40years old are not all bitter.

Some of us are actually pleased to be there, generally people take you way more seriously and treat you with respect.

I am from the UK but not currently living there - moved to the SO's country.

 

I'm sorry I give that attitude. I definitely didn't give it to her before. In fact I was looking forward to having her as a friend as I thought she seemed nice and we had some things in common. I just got iffy after my last hang out with her at the end of last week when once again she brought up the SO's past dating - so I haven't acted iffy towards her. In fact whenever she's mentioned the past dating and other stuff I have listed I laugh it off and talk normally. I'm not confrontational which is why I came here to ask for advice.

 

Again, I do not think they have history. As my SO was in a relationship for 8 yrs, they broke up then he moved straight to the UK for work and then he came back to Canada with me. So he did some dating in the UK but not in Canada where she lives. I'm normally pretty good with gut instincts and I just don't feel it with her. I first met her last year when me, my bf & her went for a coffee - I don't think he would do that if something had happened between them. He also encouraged me to hang out with her as I can't currently work til my visa is sorted and she has been laid off so we both have plenty of free time - another thing I don't think he would encourage if something had happened between them because of course if something had, then there's a chance I could find out. He isn't that kind of man. I think she just fancied/s him.
