[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This might make sense with an mlm, but in that field I wonder if your friend is reacting from insecurities[/quote]

Op here. It’s not an MLM. It’s in the tech/AI/cybersecurity space which is where DH, brother, and I all work. And we are spending no more than a few thousand dollars on it, and no one is quitting their job.[/quote]

Why do you care so much about your friend's opinion on this if it's just small potatoes?[/quote]

Op here. She did more than give her opinion. She went on a diatribe listing all the reasons why it won’t work and detailing everything she thinks I’m doing wrong.

I[b]’m hurt by it. I’m not sure there needs to be some big deep reason. But I feel like I opened up about something that matters to me and shared with her and then she crapped all over it before I had even finished explaining barely anyt[/b]hing about it.[/quote]

OK, you're hurt.  What are you going to do about it?  Punish her? She's already apologized.  Now you are ruminating here about it.  The ball is in your court about whether to accept the apology and move on or not.  I guess not. [/quote]

I disagree. It's not OP's job to either "get over it" or not. The friend way overstepped. The friend has to prove to OP that she can be supportive and that she won't do this again, or OP won't go to her next time she has news about something new she's doing. The friend screwed up the dynamics of the friendship and an apology does not repair that.[/quote]
