[quote=Anonymous]I find stuff like this so difficult to navigate. There may be a totally innocuous explanation or maybe OP's paranoia is justified, but it's very hard to know and I'm not sure exactly how you find out.

I also want to say that the fact that Nikki called OP and straight up said "I'm sorry this sucks, it was an accident by the host" is a sign that this is in fact what happened. But I once had a friendship that sort of went this way (longtime friend who became close to a friend of mine from work and then did a bit of a slow fade on me -- now they are very close and I never see them). And one of the frustrating things is that my longtime friend felt guilty about what was happening so she'd sometimes reach out to me essentially to reassure me "Hey we are not cutting you out!" but then the dynamic would shift that way again and they'd see each other a lot 1:1 and only hang out with me sometimes. In the end I wish she had not done this because it only made me feel jerked around and kind of gaslit. It would have been better to slow fade on me and just let me deal with my own sadness over that.[/quote]
