[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We are both invited to a dinner party with a group of couples later this week and she still has not made contact. I'm considering skipping the party as I would prefer not to meet her face to face with this going on. She has pulled the silent treatment on me in the past and then pretended as if nothing had happened. She has lots of friends. I just have a few but I would never do this to someone I considered close unless their behavior had been beyond the pale towards me personally. My husband wants me to go but why should I subject myself to what feels like humiliation?[/quote]

Just GO - you are invited to a dinner party. Good opportunity to become closer friends with someone else. Unless you two are the only guests, go and have fun. Don’t let her crappy behavior alter your life anymore .[/quote]

And please - stop trying to make contact with her. You tried - now you should move on and concentrate on finding a better friend group.

I had a ‘frenemy’ who managed to be nice to many people but who was unfriendly to me at times- she would do stuff like invite people to her house for an event and not invite me, even talking about it in front of me. We did a sport together where I organized the team and she would cancel at the last minute for no good reason (drinking wine?) and we would be left short players even after I would scramble to find a replacement for her.
One day I had enough and I dropped her from the team because I couldn’t stand it anymore and she stopped talking to me. 
I worked to get some new participants for the team and consequently my whole world opened up with new friends that actually cared about me and were fun and considerate and it’s made a huge difference in my life. It’s literally been the funnest 15 years of my life in so many ways and I have what I would consider lifelong friends that mean something to me.
Don’t be afraid to change things that aren’t working, OP.[/quote]
