    How to be their friend without losing respect
    Me and my hubby are friends with this other couple for a long time. We are not too close. Sometimes they put cold shoulders on us. Specially the wife did not take me as a friend. Though I wanted to be one. Most of the time she would ignore or whatsoever. It made me feel bad and I would feel humiliated. For example, we together arranged a game show, and she took all the credit, one day she stood me up on her door way even after promising me that she would take me to the hospital to see a friend, we would make movie plans and she would just go with some other friends and not even care.

    I would come home and talk to my hubby about her attitude and he would suggest to avoid her. On some occasions she really humiliated me in front of people. And therefore, one day I did the same thing. She told me that she does not like some other lady to join her party. And I just told that lady. My friends hubby came to know about it and he called me to be careful about doing such thing. I told him that I didn't do anything wrong , I just did it . It came out so naturally after being humiliated by her for such a long time.

    Now we are in a group of people, we have other friends. So I do not want to create a bad reputation, still now I do not think I did something bad. Still I do not know how to respond to them next time.

    Can you help?

    Leave her alone and don't bad mouth her. Let it go, and in the future, watch yourself, and think before you act or speak.
