[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s fine for you to decide you don’t want the person around bc that specific comment (even if trivial to some) is a trust breaker for you.

I had a friend for years I was very close to, we’d gone on family trips together, been there for milestones. She had a big personality and would often say little things I’d brush off as just her being unfiltered. Then one time, very casually and laughing, she made a really mean comment about my dh out of the blue and laughing. That was it for me and I distanced myself.[/quote]

I had a friend like this and I also hit a breaking point. I'm someone who will give someone a lot of rope if the "offense" is just talk, but there are limits and at some point you've just had enough. I also think in my case the "friend" was actually intentionally being rude to me out of some hostility (no idea where it came from) and then was concealing it with "just kidding." Earlier on when I thought maybe she was just very uncouth or didn't have a good filter, I was forgiving, but with time it really started to seem like the comments were intended to make me feel bad. I stopped feeling like I was getting anything good out of the relationship.[/quote]
