Last week my actual best friend was in town; my casual friend sent me an email telling me how hurt she was that I was calling Kelly my best friend

"I told her I was sorry she was feeling that way. So far, she hasn’t responded and I’m unsure of what else to say or do."

Well, I got a text from Linda asking me about Kelly, how long I have known her, etcetera. I answered her questions, and she ended up sending me a three-page email about how hurt she was that I was calling Kelly my best friend when I hadn’t even mentioned her to her,

I have told her I wouldn’t tolerate being involved with a negative person like that, but she can’t bring herself to cut ties with him. I’m frustrated with the continuing “woe is me” conversations. She doesn’t seem to be able to move on,

She doesn’t seem to be able to move on, which is very difficult for me to hear the same sob story over and over.
