[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With your follow up, I'm not sure how you fit in. In each case, the ppl she directly offended was more than capable of speaking up. Sure, she will sulk, but that's not your issue to solve.

Frankly, I'd do nothing and distance myself from her. She sounds very immature. [/quote]

Op here,

Yes, those people have spoken up for themselves and most of them have ghosted her or otherwise dropped her. I'm still her friend and she still makes comments that are hurtful and rude.

For example, I was on the phone with her and asked her to hold on a sec because my dog walker was calling and it could be urgent. When I got back to the line, she said "Why do you need a dog walker? It's kind of lazy that you won't walk your own dog." I told her that was rude  and she insisted "no but it's true! Your dog is so small, he can't need to walk that long.". I suppose she remembered that I have mobility issues and said "Well can't [partner] walk the dog?".

I told her there was a little more to it than that and that I had to go. She then proceeded to spam me with texts about how she "didn't mean anything by it" and she's sad that I "seem mad" at her.

I didn't want to explain to her that I'm busy and my husband is out of town so I pay someone to give the dog a longer walk than I can manage (about 20 mins). Also, culturally for me, calling someone lazy is offensive. [/quote]
