I had (had, you see) this friend. We'll call her S. A and I had been friends for about six years. We were close friends and had even became "sisters" at one point. A lives out of state and has visited me twice.
In the past year, things started getting nuts with her. I stopped hearing from her on a regular basis. It got to the point that I only heard from her when him she needed to bitch about the current boyfriend. (This was the first current boyfriend of the year, not the current current guy.) she would go on and on about how he had wronged her in one way or another and me, trying to be a good friend, would sympathetically listen and then always agree that he had just done her wrong. And of course I always told her what a great person she is and tell her everything she needed to hear to make her feel better. Even though she says she sugar coats nothing, she needs everything sugar coated for her.
However, if I needed to talk to her about an issue I was having either she didn't have time or it soon got turned around to her current problem. The opposite of a fair weather friend.
Since then, she has gone through 3 (I think, it's hard to keep up) guys in the past year. That's really none of my business except for the fact that she told me in one of our last conversations back in the fall last year that she wasn't going to date anyone for a while and that she was gonna work on herself. Ok. Good.
Near the end of last year, I shared a picture on Facebook that said something like "in the past year you've posted more pictures on Instagram with the caption me and my better half. You must be an extra large pizza." I thought it was funny but honestly had not one single person in mind. Apparently, S was feeling guilty because she was the first to comment with "you must be talking about me." Well, honey, if the shoe fits!
So, S, (and since she's blocked me on all social media I doubt that she'll see this) I'm not sugar coating anything anymore:
1. Honey, you need some serious help. You say one thing and do the exact opposite. You're gonna stop dating and work on yourself so you go through 2 or 3 more men after that.
2. No one believes anything that comes out of your mouth anymore because of past lies. Who knows what lies you're telling at this very moment.
3. Kiss my ass.
