I had a 'friend' of MANY yrs.but got sick and tired of being her sounding board so to speak / plus everytime we ever did anything like go to NYC or a movie,it was always her way or the highway
She also let it be known to me about her jealousies of me, abt the fact I have a good husband complaining she has no one. and that she has bills piled up to her head and I don't have to worry abt that. That she's a caregiver to her Mother and mine is independent plus married. All she ever did was act either angry at me for successes in my life as well as other things I've achieved/I guess I just got sick of feeling like her therapist when she wasn;'t really there for me.
I don't know anyone else around here.
All my relatives live out of state/yes I have a good husband but one must have friends too,right?
I feel like I'm starting at square one w/my social life,help!
p.s. tried to be as supportive as I could w/that 'friend' but always felt like the perpetual giver and ended up feeling very use

she needs professional help and you can't give that to her.
you need to get out and about and meet people.
sign up for a class, join a small group at the local church, volunteer your time. do something where you can meet other people.

Sounds to me she was never your friend at all, better to leave than to stay! Its wise for you to leave her cos she's been putting all the blames on you for her misfortune.Shes just being pathetic of having no one to venting her anger and jealousy. Dont worry about it, you will get it through very soon, talk to your husband about it and he will help you. Give yourself some time to meet new people around the neighborhood or workplace. Good luck!

She sounds like me. Only I have never had friends better off than me. I try to make it even playing field so I don't get jealous and even if I was I wouldn't admit it. That's good you left her but if she is making you feel bad you did the right thing.
