Hiya all

I'm a Saggie, she's a Leo. We've been best friends forever but I have one problem. If she does something by herself, I'm okay with that, sure I feel left out but I'm okay with my own company so I don't mind.

On the other hand, if I do something on my own it irks her to the point that she can get hurtful.

There always seems to be one-up-manship on her part, and I've been put down a lot by her.

If I use twitter a lot, she is sarcastic, but she has done the same and I'm nothing but supportive.

I'm at the last straw now, I was not invited to her mothers 70th birthday get together. She cited that she thought I was at work, so she did not mention it. This was two days before the event. I know this has arisen because I'm not constantly applying attention to her. I'm so disappointed that I can't bring myself to contact her now. I'm thinking of cutting all ties.

I know it's not going to be any different. Maybe it's time to go?

So you don't like when people do what you do to them? You have a right not to like it but they don't?


Example = we joined a gym. She kept cancelling, my son then joined, so I went with him on Fridays (not one of the days I had saved for her). She confronted me and told me that she was not getting the same gym time as me??

Example = we both use twitter, I was doing a challenge at the gym and posted it. Her comment, you must be bored to be at the gym, I see you posted it all over twitter??

Example = I joined a team sport with some work girls, we were meant to be changing gyms and signing up on same day. She then joined it by herself.

We could meet up more at the gym, but she is not into it as much as me and cancels, but it's my fault?

It could be jealousy and that's not healthy in any relationship friendship or partnership. Just talk. It's the only way. If you are truly best friends you'll get through it. I'm a Leo and we generally are very loving friends. It may be the loyalty part where she feels you going out without asking her is not being loyal to her but it's just a guess. It's not necessary the right way to think but some people get very funny like that. I don't at all and I'm a Leo but we are all slightly different xx

Hmm she sounds controlling and jealous or something.

It's best you ask her what is wrong with her or simply avoid her and move on.

Yeah I think avoidance is good right now.

My mouth might run off if I spoke to her right now. I've done a lot of tongue biting to preserve this friendship.

drop her because you seem to have been thinking about it, if this friendship is not mutual then it's time to cut your losses and find better friends. leos are very straightforward not the mind game type, but many leos are different. she might not realize what shes doing is hurtful

As far as the bday thing, it was her 70 year old moms event. Maybe her mom only wanted her close friends and keep it a more intimate affair. Don't be bothered by that, you don't know the specifics there. I wouldn't take it as a snub.


I've known her mum since birth.

I tried to see her side but I have to go with this 'if it were my mums birthday and I invited only her mum and not her, it would not be conceivable'. Even if she were on holiday I'd still put the invitation out there. Instead I see a post on twitter about how today was their Garden party for her mums big day.

Again, its her moms big day. Not yours. Not hers.

Her mother most likely had control over who was invited to her party. And its entirely possible she wanted to have a small core gathering. May not be a slight to you. So relax and don't take everything so personal.

Her mum would have asked her to invite me, I know that about her mum.

The party was arranged before the 4th of July as my mum was invited them. Our mums are besties too.

I only found out on the 13th when she posted it online.

I commented saying have a great time, my card is in the post.

She responded say shame you can't come as your working! So I responded yes shame, I would have booked day off!

She then said, well I was going to ask you Thursday - 2 days before - but you were working so did not ask
