Dear ktmac28:

Your friend belittles you? You wrote: “she makes every effort to steer me away from them or belittle me in front of the.m” When a person belittles you, that person is not a friend.

You wrote that you are somewhat open to a relationship with a man, if it feels right. If it feels right to you. Well, it feels wrong to her that you have a relationship. What do you do then, when she steers you away from a man who may be just right for you? On that holiday you are planning with her?
