Looking for Advice

So I haven't blogged on here in a while, but I was hoping that some of you might have some thoughts on what to do about my current predicament.

 

One of my best, closest friends from high school has a new girlfriend that he is absolutely in love with. His new girlfriend's best friend bullied me in college, put me in dangerous/triggering situations, tried to mess up all my relationships, and more, all while acting like she was my best friend. I finally cut her off after almost two years of this treatment and have her blocked on almost all social media. She's approached people she knew were my friends before to either try to make them her friends or to ask about me even years after I cut her off. The last time I talked to her, I was sitting at my friend's concert with a broken leg and literally could not escape from her, and I was very careful about the things I told her because she was very clearly fishing for info. I now have to figure out how to tell my friend that if she approaches him to ask about me, I don't want her to know anything about my personal life - without sounding like I'm absolutely insane.

 

I don't know; maybe it'll be super simple. After all, he is my friend and knows I'm not crazy. However, it's still scary to think about and I could use some advice or a pep talk or something!

It sounds like you have plenty good reason for not wanting her to know about you! And this isn’t a criticism of his girlfriend but rather - a friend of his girlfriend’s. I would just sit him down and tell him how bad this friendship of yours were (with that girl) and how you would really like for her to be completely cut out from knowledge and then just ask that if he’s approached to not say anything. Maybe he can let you know if he’s approached and what he said so you can relax again - it sounds like it’s causing you a lot of stress.

But honestly, if you just say it calmly like you’ve written in the blogpost there is absolutely no one who would think your request was insane and if he’s a good friend, he’ll understand.

You can do it! <3
