[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP and also I caution you, OP to ignore or unfollow these so called friends on social media.

When I mention that the women tried to compete and vie for attention from the Queen Bee, it was all over Facebook or Instagram or the QB’s blog! Insidious. Pics posted with captions like, “dinner with my favorite people” or “cheers to BFFs” or “she’s my rock” or “Girls Weekend - thanks to Larla for letting us stay in your fab beach house!”[/quote]

For the love of god. I think we live in the same neighborhood. I think these women are mentally ill. [/quote]

Honestly, why do you care? I moved into our neighborhood 10 years ago and am friendly with a lot of people in the neighborhood, but not deep friends. But a lot of them who have lived here longer and have kids in the same grade are genuinely very close, and when they post about their dinners or vacations together, I either give it a Like or just scroll on by. What’s it to me if I’m not in their inner circle of friendship? They are unfailingly nice and polite to me, and I have other friends I’m closer to. Why would their genuine friendship hurt me in any way? It’s nothing to do with me! Not everything is to do with me.[/quote]

Ah, there’s three rub. Fake friends are not always unfailingly nice and polite. [/quote]

Well, then they’re not friends, now are they? See how that works? There’s no such thing as a “fake friend.” Either someone is a friend, or they are an acquaintance, or someone you don’t connect with.[/quote]

Not true.  I had a neighbor who I became very close to. Our kids played together.  The whole time we were neighbors she started sleeping with my husband.  They hooked up for 4;years straight before I found out by accident.

I forgave them for the sake of our children and friend group, but I always think they are still sleeping with one another since they work at the same office.  [/quote]

Dude, that's not a fake friend, that is a not-true-friend who betrayed you. Just like a husband who betrayed you: he's not your "fake husband," he's your husband who betrayed you. And true friends don't do what she did to you, so there's that. She's not "fake." She's not a real friend. [/quote]

Well she has made herself out to be a friend to our friend group.  I had told them all about how I didn't feel like being intimate with my DH bc of body issues (my DH is super fit) and she and the others said it was ok.  So to give my DH an outlet so that he wouldn't leave me, she slept with him.  It sort of made sense so I forgave them, and the others agreed with her.  [/quote]

Again, you are not describing friends. [/quote]
