Real friends don't act like pigs.
Cut your losses, you'll feel much better and have more energy. |

Oh, so it appears that she wouldn't accept her birthday cake because the party wasn't "all" about her. This was her way of saying "it's everything or nothing". Hmmm, yep, I think you really need to take a close look at this friendship. |

So in others words you buying some very nice gifts and being there for her is not enough.
Tell her to go pound rock salt. Find a new friend and move on.
Sometimes you have to let some people go, I had to learn that the hard way.
And as my grandmother would say "feed some of them off of a long handled spoon". |

Your hubby is a smart man...cut your losses and move on. I have had "friends" that way before. I had to do a serious reflection on who I REALLY want in my life. Those that I can talk to, laugh with, give and take with, those I can call for a favor and they can do the same-but NEVER say "you owe me", and the others I can say are only aquaintences. They do not do anything for me, do not help ME when I need it but expect me to jump and run...I don't have time for those people.
Now, as far as your "friend", she must be so completely miserable with herself and her life that she is making everyone else feel as rotten as she does. She does NOT have an excuse to be such a witch. Here's another thought...no model scarfs 3 hotdogs, unless she's ralphing them back up later. She has serious issues. DO NOT let her bring you down in her wallows of the deep. |

If she wanted burgers at the party she should have offered to BRING them. I don't think I have a friend that does not ask "What can I bring?" everytime I invite them to a party or just over for dinner.
If she was on a diet and not eating cake she never should have said what flavor she would like "in case anyone was making a cake for her".
They were very cute cakes. Even if she did not want to eat it at home she could have brought it into work or something. She probably did not want to be seen leaving with a cake and having people think that she would be sitting up at midnight scarfing it down alone (which she would have been!!)
Don't feel bad - you are sweet - she is not. I would have taken your cake home  |

"She was appreciative of the necklace and the money (the gift certificate) thankfully. she said that they are broke and hadn't eaten much in the past 2 days."
Okay, I'm confused about her cancelling the manicure with you. You gave her the money to have it done, but she told you she didn't have the money???? What'd she do, cash the gift certificate in????? What an INGRATE!
Everyone else is right, cut your losses on this one! No one deserves to be treated like that!
Your cake was lovely! You can bake for any one of us anytime! |

Okay.... I am going to get yelled at...I can tell.
Sometimes you do have to "cut your losses" and step away from a friendship, but sometimes you have a friend that is in a bad spot and needs you.....and you have to put up with the crap.
I will write more later....I have more to say....but my little ones are fussing!!! |

I can agree with that!
And sometimes we go above and beyond all the time and WE don't know it ourselves. Sometimes we need to take a step back and say..."Was I trying too hard?"
I think in this case though she was selfish and was not taking in account how much the OP had gone through for her! |

I had a friend who completely took advantage of me all the time. The sad thing she does it to everyone. I quit the friendship, I just couldn't take it any longer. I once got an email questionair that you read what the sender wrote and then you fill it out and send it. Well one question was what are you good at? she wrote that she was good at making people upset and not knowing why. Let's just say I didn't respond. There is more to the story, but not going there. I have more important things to worry about than her. BTW she is my next door neighbor. (we live in the country so she's down the road, not right next door.) I wave when I see her, but that is as far as it goes. Sorry , I sometimes babble.
