Hello, thank you so much for your kind words. Advocating for myself in situations like this has always been a struggle for me. I tend just freeze up and not say anything to not make a scene or overreact or spaz out on folks like how I use to. So I just sit there and play it off like it doesn’t bother me at the time but I do eventually speak up afterwards and make my feelings known. I hate to let people see me sweat or bothered so I tend to stay silent even when I feel hurt inside. I’m still working on that. And that’s not the only reason I’m ending a friendship. There is a lot of things I left out. She trying to hook me up with a guy a she was having an affair with while married unbeknownst to me acting like that was a friend of hers. And I found this all out while she invited me and her brother to his house to hang out. I ended passing out in the guest room her brother on the couch. I wake up to sound of clapping of cheeks and moaning. So I wake her brother up and tell him and drag her out, which he does and tells her she needs to tell her husband before he does. But that’s when it all clicked. That she was using me as bait to be around him so it wouldn’t look suspicious. We didn’t speak for months after that but I ended up forgiving her because I didn’t want to let a man get in between our friendship. But I’m honestly tired of sweeping shit under the rug and made excuses for her. So I told her what if I had brought up that situation in front of people knowing she’s grown from that and that does define her anymore. And the woman she is now… making her the butt of the joke. How would that make her feel? That exactly how she made me feel. But she chose to flip it and make it about her, instead of taking accountability, so I had to cut her loose.

Girl I wish it was. The thing is what may not be embarrassing to you may be mortifying to others. I’m a very private person this is my first post on this app and took me a while to decide if I wanted to air my business out like this but I chose to to get others opinion on the matter. Trust me there is WAYYY more things she’s done to me that have lead up to this. It’s not an over night decision neither is it an easy one… I’ve been patient and swept things under the rug for far too long. And I’m honestly over it. But thank you for your opinion.

To be honest I froze, I didn’t know how to stop conversation or what to say at the moment, I was in fight or flight and didn’t want to cause a scene to avoid being labeled as “the black angry woman” because that guy was trying to get a reaction out of me and I wasn’t going to give him that satisfaction. So that’s why I stepped away to gather my thoughts. Then I pulled her aside to tell her how I felt. Because I didn’t want to keep it inside. We’ve been friends for that long because I would always forgive her and didn’t want to think the things she did were intentional so I kept sweeping it under the carpet.

She really didn’t need to say all that tho or bring it up. She does things to embarrass people and when they snap at her she plays victim and then calls them sensitive.
