is this silly? **UPDATE**

irrelephant, 29 September, 2009 at 13:17 Posted on Planning 0 33

I know this isn't a big deal but its been nagging at my mind for two nights now and i feel quite hurt and slightly betrayed and just need to tell someone and get it off my chest.

This weekend i was back at uni and out with the society that we run. There were a lot of freshers there who i'd known for about four or five days and inevitably the question about boyfriends/girlfriends etc came up and one girl asked if i was engaged and asked for the proposal story. I told her and then at the end my housemate pipes up 'but of course she forced him into getting engaged' meaning that i'd made mr delicious propose to me. I was shocked that she would say that, but especially in front of people who don't know me that well. I don't know if she really thinks that but when i protested that i hadn't and that he'd chosen to propose to me she kept saying 'but you did force him into it' and she only shut up when our other housemates backed me up saying that mr delicious had told them about it before we'd even thought of buying the ring.

Its a silly thing to be upset about i know. But she's supposed to be one of my best friends and she has said several upsetting things to me this week ☹️ i feel a bit like she thinks its ok to leave me out of things or say things because i'm with mr delicious and therefore i don't matter as much as her and our other housemates who are all single.

I really don't want to talk to her at the moment but can't avoid it. I don't know if i'm being unreasonable to be upset about it or whether i'm just tired and over reacting.

**UPDATE**

well she's done it again twice and has really upset me this time. On wednesday night she had been drinking with some other friends again and i can't even remember why she said it but she said that mr delicious was so camp he was almost gay. When i said that wasn't true, she said 'well he might be a man in the bed room but he's been camp since i met him' and kept going on that he was camp. I was not impressed and pretty sure i looked it because when i sat back she shut up.

Then again today i was sat in uni with her, my other housemate and some acquaintances off my course. i was telling a story about how mr delicious had told me off for being silly and i said 'oh he was pretending to shout at me' she pipes up 'mr delicious would never shout at you. You just nag him all the time!' and when i said i didn't she came back with 'you're always nagging him, getting him to do stuff or telling him not to do it one way or the other' and i was really annoyed with her but didn't say anything because we were with people. But our friends all looked pretty shocked at the way she had turned on me and one bloke muttered under his breath to me 'well thats one way to know who your friends are'. That really upset me because its the second time she's said it in front of people when it wasn't called for. And today of all days when i'm grieving for my uncle. My other friend and i left shortly after and i burst into tears. I couldn't help it!

I have no idea why she's turning on me like this now, but i simply can't talk to her. She keeps trying to speak to me but i'm giving her minimum answers and have been sat in my room alone since 5pm whilst mr delicious did some other stuff FOR HER! She asked him to do stuff for her! I said he might as well do it for harmony's sake. But i don't know whether she knows she's upsetting me which is just cruel, or whether she genuinely doesn't know she's upsetting me which is pretty stupid and insensitive of her. I also don't feel i can say anything to her because it will cause an argument and i really don't have the time or energy for that. My other housemates think i should say something but i wouldn't know what to say.

C thinks she's quite possibly jealous of me and mr delicious. But its pathetic if she is.

    I would say it was overreacting if she had just said it once and in a jokey way but as she pushed it, then I think I would feel the same as you. If she's done this a few times recently it might be an idea to just try and talk to her about what the problem is. she's probably just jealous tbh

    Im with zippy on this one. Also was she drinking? not saying that this makes people into annoying t*ats but sometimes people do get mouthy on it and want to be the centre of attention but equally it will all be forgotten the following day. Dont let it worry you, you and Mr D (and the rest of your friends) know the real story and thats all that matters. x

    ? thanks girls

    to be honest with you i really really don't think its jealousy at all. she was dating my cousin and dumped him in may when she went to america for four months. Since then she's been adamant she doesn't want another boyfriend, is wanting to concentrate on third year etc etc. At the same time she's getting on fine with mr delicious but just keeps making the odd comment that makes me feel like she doesn't really give a s**t about my feelings anymore. I just don't understand, but don't want to confront her because she has already told me twice i'm just being silly or paranoid when i mention that i feel like she's leaving me out or could she please not make comments. And she's only been doing it recently.

    No you're not being silly at all. That is just a malicious and pretty immature thing to say, especially as none of it has any basis in the truth at all - which your friends rightly said when they backed you up. Sounds to me like she's obviously got no concept of what she says and thinks she can blurt things out that are completely untrue for no apparent reason. Has she always been like that with you? Just strikes me as a very odd thing to come out with out of the blue, especially to people you've only recently met, as you said. Seems to be said in order to get a reaction from you or humiliate you in some way.

    How are you anyway? Settling into third year okay (aside from this)?

    She'd had two or three cocktails and possibly a baileys in her coffee at lunch (but i wasn't there at lunch cos mr d had treated me to one of our fave restaurants) so possibly just her getting a bit mouthy on the alcohol

    I agree with Zippy delicious. Maybe she is trying to be the big I am by saying something like that in front of the newbies. Is it her attempt at humour?? Don't let it affect you petal. Ignore her and if she makes any other jibes then tell her to jog on. You're best rid of bitter people like that. Keep your chin up and have a nice glass of something cold and alcoholic ? x

    Malicious and immature just isn't H's style which is why i'm so confused and understandably (i think you'll agree) quite hurt. I've obviously only known her two years but i've lived with her already for one of those and we were really close last year. saying that she's also not tolerated our other housemate C as well as she did last year. He can be quite lazy and often doesn't use his initiative and keeps getting annoyed at him too. then again at other times she's perfectly normal with both of us.

    As for third year its not going too badly. On my second day of classes today, but feel like i haven't stopped since i arrived over a week ago. I was so busy in freshers week with the society and then we had a really busy weekend with this sightseeing thing we did. Also a bit stressed about my work load plus time with mr delicious and time for the society too. and infact i better go cos i've got a lecture in twenty minutes!

    Will be back sometime after 7. thanks girls for making me feel like i'm not totally mental and unreasonable! xx

    Agree with Zippy on this one, sounds like jealousy to me, weddings do have a habit of bringing out the best and sadly the worst in friends ☹️ xx

    Hey delicious, if its not jealousy i dont really know what to suggest! It sounds like she obviously has a problem with something maybe not you and Mr D or the other housemate but maybe something deeper shes in happy about and shes using being like this to cover it up or make herself feel better,

    Hoep you get it sorted! ?

    It does sound like she could be jealous. Either that or she's just downright rude and immature. I would probably be feeling the same as you but try to rise above it - if you let her see it's getting to you she'll probably do it even more! Just try to laugh it off and show her you're the bigger person. ?

    I don't think it is silly for you to be upset. Her comments were insensitive, and as a friend she should know better than to mock you in front of people you barely know! I agree with Moya, if it is not the green eyed monster, there must be something else that is upsetting her.

    I know it's hard but try not to let it get you down. Have a chat with her, tell her you didn't appreciate her comments, she may feel a bit daft about it if you confront her one on one.

    I feel your pain though! I have a friend who does similar things, it's bizarre.

    I think Zippy solved the mystery with her first post - jealousy!!

    You need to pull this girl up on her behaviour and let her know it is not acceptable, failing that I will come up to Lincoln and sort her out

    Thanks girls. Feeling a bit better now you've all told me i'm not being silly. I do think there might be an element of me being oversensitive because she just made what was obviously a joke and i wasn't sure how to take it, even though i know deep down it was just a joke and she wouldnt know why it would upset me.

    if she does it again i'm definitely going to say something to her, because she's supposed to be a close friend and i wouldn't ever mock her like that in front of new people, and i'll say so to her.

    you've all made me feel so much better. I think i'm feeling a bit delicate this week but thats a whole other issue. xxx

    Dwc, I don't know what to say. Regardless of her feelings it's rude, insensitive and very childish of her to behave like she is. I know if it was me I'd be absolutely fuming! I'm really sorry I don't have any advice but I didn't want to R&R

    Ive only read your post and update and i have two words.

    Jealous.

    B!!tch.

    How pathetic of her, you are correct on that score. You have something wonderful and shes putting you down in front of others to make herself look the bigger person. Instead shes making herself look like a right twaat.

    Ignore her. Walk away from her at every opportunity. If she should dare ask why you wont speak to her remind her that her own insecurities are destroying your friendship.

    Well after reading your first post and your update it just smacks to me that she is jealous of you and Mr Delish. She is undermining your realtionship to others and then she is running him down as well, classic signs of someone who is a jealous and b has the hot's for him.

    I would tell her to shut her mouth and I would do it rather loudly infront of people if she starts again in public. I would also ask her what her problem is with you being engaged, put her on the spot you will probably get an inkling of the truth then.

    Good luck lovey, you don't need friends like that xxx

    I second what teehee said. What a vile person. You seriously need to consider buying a large wet smelly fish and whacking her round the face with it.

    I'm sure it's jealousy m'dear - you are lovely. Don't let this moose get ya down. Big hugs to you missy & just ignore it all *mwah*

    I think she might possibly be jealous too. but i genuinely have no idea why. She was previously dating my cousin who is so lovely and she dumped him to go to america for four months. so if its just that she's jealous i'm with someone and she's not then its her own fault to say the least. If she does have a thing for mr delicious then well... i can see why cos he's lurverly ... but surely she should just be happy for me because she's my friend?

    spangles- i don't like fish so unless i can do it without touching it then i will have to find another option lol

    After your update I would definately say she likes him - If you've been good friends and lived together she may be struggling with her feelings. I don't think anything she said is right of course - but we're all human and unfortunately ruled by our feelings. I know its hard as you seem to have a lot on at the moment but I reckon it will settle down in a few weeks.

    I wouldn't tackle her about maybe liking him as it would bring it into the open and possibly make it worse whereas she may get her 'crush' under control herself - but I would tackle her about how you feel when she says that stuff so she knows it hurts.

    I think I've taken a different tack to everybody else!

    Good Luck - in a few months time you'll be able to look back on it and laugh!❤️ Big hug though!

    Nic i'm not going to ask her if she has a thing for mr delicious. If she said yes outright then it would make things awkward and if she said no i'd think she was lying so better to keep it to myself really.

    teehee you feel free to slap her with a wet fish. I'm absolutely sick of her.

    her latest is that C is indiscreet when he's talking about things and can offend people so therefore she thinks C should watch what he's saying! i think hypocrites deserve the wet fish slap don't you?

    Here I am! read it all now.

    agree with everyone else about the jealousy. And I did think to myself I wonder if she has a thing for MrD. I know its a horrible thing for you to think but thats what it might be.

    I know you don't want to talk to her but believe me the longer you let this lie the more it will eat you up inside.

    I think you need to ask her why she is saying these things to you and get it out in the open

    Well cheskakakakaka my love, we've been doing stuff for our friends birthday today and she was to start with really quiet and you could have cut the tension with a knife. so i said 'are you annoyed with me' and she said no so i carried on as i was and she seems alright now. ish. still a bit quiet and awkward though. She also almost reduced A to tears when A asked something about the party.

    So absolutely no idea what the hell is going on tbh.
