[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is me in the other side.  My husband and I laddered up and had rented for years due to frequent moves.  We finally bought a dream home and [b]I was so excited to share the ongoing renovations with my friend.[/b]  I was also shocked at the prices of some of the things we were buying and shared how crazy it was!
She came to visit and saw my house and that just did us in.  The next time I visited her, she asked me to stop talking about money and I readily agreed.  A week later,through text,  she accused me of bragging to make others feel bad and that I did it on purpose even after I had stopped talking about the house!
This whole thing was a combination of her insecurities and jealousy.  I genuinely wanted to share my experiences with her and was so excited to finally own again and never meant to upset her or brag.
I would hope that  you would talk to her and give her a fair chance and tell her how you feel.  She genuinely might not know how it is affecting you.  If she continues to swing the conversations to her and what she has AFTER your talk, I’d move on with my friendship.
I will be honest and say that it’s a difficult position for you both though so this will work only if the friendship has a solid base.

Nobody wants to hear about your renovations, friend or otherwise. It’s great that you’re excited about it, but keep the details to yourself unless someone has specifically asked.[/quote]
