Woman “Joins” Ex-Friend’s Solo Trip With The Intention To Give A Fresh Start To Their Friendship

Friendships sometimes end on bad terms, but most people simply move on. However, Reddit user Finishercar1, who shared her disturbing story on r/mildlyinfuriating, cannot.

After a falling out with a woman she was somewhat close to, the situation escalated from mean texts to obsessive and intrusive behavior.

From showing up uninvited at events to booking the same flight and announcing her desire to join a trip, the ex-friend’s actions have crossed an increasing number of boundaries. The worst part is that local authorities are not yet willing to help.

I always have trouble remembering the difference between envy (wanting what someone else has) and jealousy (being worried/threatened that someone will take what you have). I will now have no trouble - this piece of work is the very definition of jealousy. The irony being of course that she doesn’t even seem to ‘have’ the guy in question. I wonder what he would think of these texts, incidentally…
