Hello – long time reader of the site & I need a little advice and support. Hope you can help!

I’m friends with two of my neighbours and we spend a lot of time together. Over Summer, they both found themselves in romantic relationship which meant that every time we socialised, their partners would come along too. Their new partners are lovely people but I was starting to feel like a third wheel so I began to spend time with other friends. They were upset by this but I explained that their lives were different now & that though I still valued their friendship, I still wanted to stay out late and see bands, go dancing etc. Over the last few months their anger towards me has increased and the last few times I have seen them they have become verbally abusive, calling me selfish b*tch and cruel for leaving them out of things (can I say here that I ALWAYS invite them to every event I go to & they have declined everytime – even at the last minute leaving me out of pocket). I decided to stay in on NYE with a friend who is going through a difficult relationship breakup & since then I have received horrible texts from my neighbours calling me a retard and a f*cked up b*tch. It is not that easy for me to ignore & walk away as they are literally on my doorstep. Can anyone offer help & support? Anyone been through something similar? Thanks x
