Dishonesty Stinks

Dishonesty stinks to high heaven.

It's very sad to write this. But a person whom I've regarded as a friend could actually diss a fellow friend, put her down, and discourage her from attending a seminar, is actually no better than a manipulator, no?

I hate to say this, but I'm refering to PB. Her behaviour is utterly reprehensible. Why should she discourage G from attending something that is evidently beneficial, yet slyly sign up for it with the organisers? Why is she trying to divert G from the seminar? Is it because Scoundrel is likely to be there and there's going to be some kind of dramatic showdown?! Or is she protecting her own turf, afraid that G will be there as a potential rival for someone's affections?

Come to think of it, whose affections is PB rivalling for?! And why is she staring at N at her nosebleed inducing dress and figure, L at her wedding and a whole host of very unwelcomed and personal questions that I refused to answer nor satisfy her curiosity?

G was throughly shocked when it was revealed that despite PB's attempts to dissuade G from attending, she herself signed up for it. Her surprise was very plain to see and while E and I kept mum, G was in a very disturbed frame of mind.

A post dinner chat amongst us three revealed a few points:

1. That PB has been rather domineering, dishonest and putting down of others - a side that we all haven't seen before;
2. G is very upset at her "double-crossing" and perturbed as to whether she should go;
3. Yours truly has decided that one must be extremely careful in revealing what to say to PB, since she's not to be trusted;
4. That PB has a very competitive spirit, and a sigh of wonder emanated from E, who cannot imagine putting up with her;
5. That some of them are already going to minimise contact with her, prefering to see her only in a group.

It has been said that a woman forgets her friends when she finds her love. In this case, even though the love is not found yet, she has begun to bully the goodwill ambassadress, who has a very high tolerant point.

Despite all that talk about God protecting her, showing her the way, why then, was there a need to be so secret about the whole thing? Some plot is afoot, but I can't put my finger to it.

She's been calling us up to discourage us from going too. I suspect it's a divide and conquer strategy. She views P, N and now G as rivals.

I say that if you have what it takes, you need not fear. Even E noted that she's been dressingly differently since the whole thing flopped.

I hate the way that we are treated. It's horrid and I have no hesitation in telling her off, if she pushes me too far.

Time for an engagement strategy to kick in to minmise the damage that's been done.
