The last thing i want is to leave her friendless but at the moment i cant bear to see her or be near her....help!

You are not overreacting. Listen to your gut feeling. This woman is mentally unbalanced and possibly even dangerous. She is stalking your friends and now she is stalking your husband. Stop worrying about leaving her friendless and think about protecting yourself and those you care for from her crazy behavior. Sorry to be so blunt, but the behavior you describe is pretty disturbing, and certainly not something you should put up with.

I know her from my set of friends from uni. She is one of my closest friends and was my maid of honour at my wedding. She went through a horrible time and lost her boyfriend and then sorta lost all hger friends. Each time it happened she told me the situation and how she was blameless and they were bitches, etc. I believed her at the time but now im not so sure. Anyway, I started inviting her out with other groups of friends and especially when i went out with my sister in law. I just didnt want her sitting around moping and she had no other friends to go out with. She has now taken things al little too far and she is hounding my si in law and my friends with phonecalls, texts, emails, etc. She even org her birthday night out so that my whole family was there....it freaked me out!! She has also called up my friends to arrange nights out which have freaked them out so much that they got onto ME. (I think she took their numbers from my phone cos they swear that they didnt give them to her)

This was bothering me but i was willing to put it down to her being lonely. However, she has now crossed a line cos she has started phoning my husband and waiting outside his workplace. She said she just needs some male advice abt stuff but it is serverly pissing me off...i totally trust mu hubby but i hate that she is trying to get in on EVERY bit of my life. My friends, my family and now my husband! Am i over reacting and being childish abt this or am i right to think that she has gone too far?

The last thing i want is to leave her friendless but at the moment i cant bear to see her or be near her....help!

Tink,
I totally agree with Hope! Dump her friendship. She has gone WAY WAY WAY too far. She sounds kind of mentally disabled, or borderline. I am borderline and those just sound like those kind of traits. Mine is undercontrol, but that sounds like a very severe case. Manipulative, ect. You need to say goodbye to her. She never should have gone into your phone, she shouldnt be going to your husband and she shouldnt be bothering your friends. You need to stand up to her and tell her, her action were and are inappropriate!!

Good luck hun
I am sending good vibes your way

hugs
love yas
always

Hey Everyone!
Hope your day's going good.

Tink,
Yeah, I'd dump her as being a friend. There are certain lines you don't cross and one of the major ones in my book is how close she is trying to get with your husband. I agree with everything everyone has told you about this situation. Dang, you got some restraint. I'm suprised you didn't kick that wench's behind the minute you found out that she was waiting for your husband outside of his jobsite; or that you didn't 'accidently' hit her with your car. Heck I know I would have.

Natalie,
I'm glad you got Derek to be with now. =) Hope it all works out. Oh, and try new things... a different activity each date or even a slight difference in the way you touch him.

Hope,
I'm glad that you found love again. That's awesome. Glad to hear you are happy! LoL... I laughed my behind off with what you wrote about fitting together like a glove and not the OJ kind. (hmmm... I think this smiley looks like he's wearing a glove)

Kevi,
All I gotta say is dont knock em back so quick. U R only 16... you got tons of time left to party it up. Especially when you are in college.

Ooo, I was just reminded by this education talk that I got to go sign up for classes. I really need to go talk to an advisor or someone so I know what classes I wanna take. I eventually wanna go to law school and I think that I'm leaning towards Political Science rather than Crim. Justice, but I gotta think about that more.

*~*~*~*

Okay, as for me and Sean. I spent the whole day/night/day with him this weekend. Dang, I really really like him. However, we aren't official yet. I mean, when he talks about me, he says he's with his girl... but does that mean girlfriend? or you know... his buddie. LoL. He does call me Baby, so I'm assuming when he says his girl, he doesn't mean his buddy. Eh, sometimes I wish things were just black and white... too many shades of gray lead to misunderstandings... Or maybe I'm just over-analizing / thinking about it too much... right? Knowing myself, I'm over-analizing, and I defently know that by this, I'm deciphering what my true feelings for him are. And truely, I really like him, can see us getting super serious, see myself falling in love and being together for a long time.

I think I just want him to just say upfront to me that I'm his girlfriend. But then again... the way guys think, maybe he just assumes that I already know.

Have a great day everyone.
Veronica

[Kevi12]

I guess, i'm not going to school this summer haha. I changed my mind in like the last second I was with the counselor. Also guys, to all the Journey Lovers, the new album is out with the new lead singed "Arnel Pineda' Pinoy pride! LOL!

[tinkerbella]

Thanx girls i did know that her behaviour was annoying and a bit strange but i hadnt thought of her as potentially dangerous...oh dear...

Spoke to my hubby abt it and he reckons that she is jealous of our life together and wants a part of it (or one like it) for herself. Im not sure if this is true or not, but regardless she has def overstepped the mark and i will have to talk to her and tell her to back right off. I might not hit her with the car tho Veronica! Maybe a bit extreme lol!!

Thanx for the advice and support

Tamwalt - dont worry abt it! We have all been there and you will mve on to the next day and be fine. One bad day doesnt undo all your good work!

Veronica - If he is calling you baby then he sure as hell doesnt think of you as just a friend! He is also calling you his girl! Maybe you should just ask him if you guys are official?? Sounds like things are really going well with you guys!

Hope - OMG how the hell did the scary stalker get into your email?? Wow, thankfully my firend hasnt gone that far but she was checking my bebo page to see who i was meeting at the wekend! Im so glad that you are so happy! Your so lucky to have found such an amazing relationship and you totally deserve it enjoy every min of it!!

Nat - Wow, you and Derek sound sooooo happy! You sound much more positive and relaxed!! Thanx for the advice abt my friend, she is bi-polar but usually the meds keep it under control...not sure if it is this that is causing her to act like this but it is prob worth mentioning it to her.

Bye!

Yes, I have. Just don't make it into two days...or (in my case) two weeks!!! It's so easy to get off track and so hard to get back on sometimes!! It's my vacation week (I'm a teacher so I get the whole summer off but I've got other somethings in the fire...or pans on the stove...I'm doing other work stuff! Just not until next week) so I'm trying to still work out and eat well, but I'm not really doing a good job yet. It's only Tuesday, so I'm gonna keep on trucking!!

You too, tamwalt! :-)
Knowing you you'll post tomorrow with an 18 pound weight loss, so there's probably no need to worry anyway. ;-)

[tinkerbella]

So had the talk with the friend and get this...she does not accept that ANY of her behaviour is wrong, she thinks that i am an insecure control freak who doesnt want anyone to be friends without me, and finally.......that 'i have no say in her relationship with my husband'!!!!! WTF???? the girl is seriously deluded and has completely freaked me out...wanted to slap her but thankfully kept it to myself.

So obviously i decided that was the end of that friendship and told her this. I have just got off the phone to the SEVENTH friend who has called me to tell me that she has been phoning MY friends and bad mouthing me and asking THEM to support HER. She even called my MUM to tell her that i had been mean to her!!!! OMFG!!!

Evidently she is completely wacko and now my mum is really worried and i cant get any work done for worrying abt it all. She must know that she cant act like this....and now she hasno friends left and i feel really bad for her but i cant have such a horrible person in m (and my friends and familys) life.

Oh dear...........

[steadfast_minx]

hey all, I started at 220, and I bounce back between 200-220 all the time. I am worried that my weight loss this time will be just like every other time. I guess we shall see!!!!!
