[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I quickly made friends with this woman who I was only loosely acquainted with. We had a lot in common and were both restarting our careers after some time off raising young kids.

I connected her to someone prominent in my community who was looking to hire someone part time. Since then, I’ve started to feel like she’s social climbing and that [b]I’m not making the cut[/b]. We haven’t fought but I feel like she’s slow fading me.

I haven’t felt this weird since I was in middle or high school. Most of my women friends have been pretty low drama. At first I was wondering if I did something to make her upset and then I thought about it more and concluded it’s social climbing. The other friends she’s posting with are richer than me and they take more trips together. It does give me a bit of FOMO but I don’t really want to be friends with the other women, so not really. I guess it just makes me feel a little envious or left out.

Nothing really to ask. Similar stories of this happening to 30-40s women would make me feel better though.

the friendship didn’t actually take shape the way you expected. That happens sometimes, and it’s important to recognize it for what it is so you can move forward cleanly. You showed up with good intentions, and now you know where things stand. No need to hold space for something that isn’t there.[/quote]

I wish everyone on DCUM could respond like you have.  Practical and wise but still kind.[/quote]
