When I mention that the women tried to compete and vie for attention from the Queen Bee, it was all over Facebook or Instagram or the QB’s blog! Insidious. Pics posted with captions like, “dinner with my favorite people” or “cheers to BFFs” or “she’s my rock” or “Girls Weekend - thanks to Larla for letting us stay in your fab beach house!”

For the love of god. I think we live in the same neighborhood. I think these women are mentally ill.

Honestly, why do you care? I moved into our neighborhood 10 years ago and am friendly with a lot of people in the neighborhood, but not deep friends. But a lot of them who have lived here longer and have kids in the same grade are genuinely very close, and when they post about their dinners or vacations together, I either give it a Like or just scroll on by. What’s it to me if I’m not in their inner circle of friendship? They are unfailingly nice and polite to me, and I have other friends I’m closer to. Why would their genuine friendship hurt me in any way? It’s nothing to do with me! Not everything is to do with me.

Ah, there’s three rub. Fake friends are not always unfailingly nice and polite.

Well, then they’re not friends, now are they? See how that works? There’s no such thing as a “fake friend.” Either someone is a friend, or they are an acquaintance, or someone you don’t connect with.

Not true. I had a neighbor who I became very close to. Our kids played together. The whole time we were neighbors she started sleeping with my husband. They hooked up for 4;years straight before I found out by accident.

I forgave them for the sake of our children and friend group, but I always think they are still sleeping with one another since they work at the same office.

LOL you did not forgive them for the sake of the friend group, this is either a troll or a lie. Friend groups detonate over such things all the time, as they should, because the friend group likely either knew or enabled in some way. You can never go back. Ask me how i know

Well it is true. The queen bee is the one who befriended me and seduced my DH. I forgave them bc my kids would have been ostracized and I would have lost all my friends since they are afraid of the queen bee

Can you see now that they were never your friends?

I think once again we have trolling here.

I have some sympathy for op. I have a neighbor who just learned that some of the people she thought were friends are actually racist and think less of her. She was hurt more than angry and I could see her writing a post like this.
