It occurred to me today just how much what has happened in the last 6 months has killed my ability to trust new people.
New friend 1 - absolute narcissist, I went through absolute hell and they ruined what was supposed to be some of the nicest times. (Christmas, my birthday and my engagement all in that order)
New friend 2 - treated hubby like crap this past month, basically vanished on me and then has just ended the friendship today and left. Hubby even helped him out with money and travel and got nothing in return, barely even just a thank you. (There's more to this one but for the sake of sleep, I won't be going into it)
New friend 3 - now I've only just met them properly today, now I'm never comfortable meeting a new friend but they are staying over tonight - I'm not happy about this but it is what it is - now after ranting to us that they need to find a new place to stay cos their landlord is kicking them out they go "well you might get stuck with me for a couple of days" NOPE! Not doing this again, you've now just given me a reason not to trust that you aren't going to take advantage of the kindness we give. Baring in mind we only said "hey you can stay on the sofa cos it's midnight and don't want to drive right now" and I hope they aren't expecting to stay longer.
