I've reached a point in a friendship where I really don't know where to go from here. C and I have been friends for a couple of years but we fell out for a year when I found out she was communicating with my boyfriend behind my back whenever we fell out. Last week she accused me of being a bad friend. She said I only speak to her when there's noone better to speak to. This is not true. I have a big social group and tend to flit about taking the time to speak to all of my friends, she doesn't get on with many people and would rather sit in a corner and whisper about them all! ANYWAY, I've since found (I'd guessed anyway) out that she's been back in communication with my now ex-boyfriend. He has a girlfriend and she lives with her boyfriend (who's one of my oldest friends!). How can she call me a bad friend and then try it on with my ex-boyfriend? I really don't know what to do. We're not speaking right now but there's 9 of us going to Blackpool in a couple of weeks and her and I are the only girls going... Any suggestions? Love becx

Does talking to your Ex constitute ''trying it on''?

Hmmm, difficult. You don't half get in some right pickles. First of all I can see that the background info isn't important to what your feeling. Your worried about Blackpool. I can only offer my own probably useless opinion and say grin and bear it. How long is the trip? A weekend holding your tongue. Can't be too difficult. Stay close to the others in the group, they'll notice your not getting on anyway and are likley to make an effort to keep you both entertained seperatley.

Jess - She's asked him to sleep with her. Daniel - She's being really stupid about the whole thing! The friends we're going with are my old schoolfriends, she's only coming because her boyfriend is part of the group. I know all of the guys VERY well and she doesn't know ANY of them... so who's she going to talk to? The whole thing is very silly... Think I'll just ignore her! love becx

She'll talk to her boyfriend. She obviously hasn't come to see you :-). She is in more a cafuffle than you are. Leave her to it.

Bec, go and have a good time and just ignore her. As Daniel says, she's got her BF to talk to. Let her play her silly games and don't rise to them. Daisy :O)

I agree with te others that you should still go BUT I have one comment...... How is it any reflection on your friendship if she's trying it on with an EX boyfriend? he's no longer any of your business and you should really not give a stuff what he's up to now!! My bestest and oldest friends only child is also the daughter of my 1st love..... I'm her god-mother and I wouldn't be without her for all the tea in china..... friendships are more important than MEN!! xx

Bec, love, whats the problem? He's your ex, not current & I'm surprised you are concerned about a friendship with someone who doesn't deserve a friend like you. I would not be interested in someone who constantly talks about my other friends behind their backs. As long as you are happy to be the 'only' female in the group, just go along & enjoy yourself. As for the ex, he's doubly the loser if he now cheats on his current girlfriend & you are well out of it. Vivienne
