Glad you are back

Cherie,
As I read through your post I kept wondering how old H is. Is she pre-menopausal? She sounds like even at the best of times she is two faced and if she is pre-menopausal, then these aren't the best of times for her.
But it is all her. You provided the transportation which you could do at your leisure. She should have been happy to fit into your plans. Nothing you said that you had to do seems in any way unreasable... safty and work have to come first, at least in my mind.
You and I spent a bunch of time in each other's pockets and I loved every minute of it. You are a wonderful person so kind and considerate of everyone around you. You definitely let someone who sounds bitter and mean get under your skin because you are just a really nice person.
If this was a one time deal with her, I wonder if other things are going on in her life and she is taking it out on the people she is close to. She feels safe that you won't retaliate. If this is your constant relationship with her....ditch her, babe...you deserve SO much better.

Wanted to say thanks for saying this. And it really rang true and I discussed the menopause issue you brought up with some other friends too.
Holly is in her 50s and yes, I know she thought her body might be starting to go through the change so it's very likely this has a bearing on things.
The other thing, she's a dom and needs to be in control to feel comfortable. We're guessing that with the RV being mine and me dealing with most of the accommodations for that, she definitely did NOT feel in control. Add to that the possible menopause issue and voila.
Yes, she has been nasty to me a few times in the past. It's something she does to people who let her get too close. It's as if she knows she can hurt them and then seems to enjoy saying hurtful things to get a reaction! But then many other times, she's very thoughtful with the little things, always bringing along little gifts, things she's picked up or made, for people. And not just her hosts, like at Starwood, she had a little baggie full of cheap plastic rings she picked up. Cheap but cute, and she had each of us reach in and grab one. But it's the sly digs when you're good friends with her that really get to you and seem to negate all the other good things she does, know what I mean?
In any case, we're on talking terms now, not best of buds by any means, and I don't think I can let myself get that close to her again anyway. If she's not in my "inner circle" or close to my heart, then she can't hurt me with her words or actions as much. It's too bad really because we've been friends 10+ years too. But like you said, I deserve better, so to the sidewalk she goes. (Not the street completely since we'll still be in contact through mutal friends and all, but she'll have to wait outside, can't come in... LOL)
Thanks for your kind words love! They mean so much to me... just as you do!
