    Am I being unreasonable?

    Erm, no. But your 'best friend' is. Delete her too and move on.

    It's not FB, it's the people who use it.


    Happy moneysaving all.

    Oh for goodness sake! The lot of you need to grow up!

    Act like adults & conduct your conversations face to face or by phone.

    She doesn't sound like a true friend to me, if she can just dismiss you on heresay from someone else, someone else who by the way hurt you very badly. If I was you, I would cut my losses and leave them to it, she may, in time, realise what a plonker she is being and decide your friendship is worth saving but no, you're not being unreasonable, leave the ball in her court, if she doesn't come back to you then ce la vie, another one bites the dust.

    I totally agree. I use facebook to keep in touch with people I dont see often, half of which are overseas and its used more to catch up on photos of people holidays, kids etc. The majority of the people I keep in contact with are communicated with on a social level, not a gossip level!

    I'm guessing a lot of people will give me stick for this post and that's fair enough as when you listen to the story that sounds like its fresh out of high school. I think the problem I have is the level to which it has been amplified when to me it's not really something I thought adults should argue about?

    Never mind the friend/defriend thing, you stood as guarantor for her mortgage?!!

    If it was me I'd be having kittens right now. If it occurs to her to stop paying, she can really get her own back!

    turns out she's better friends with the other woman than she is with you.
    Move along now and get name off mortgage as a matter of urgency and to hell with the consequences to her over it.

    This woman is not your best friend why are you calling her that? If she ever was at one time she isn't now.

    Do what ever it you can now to get your name taken off that mortgage.

    Move on, life changes, you'll meet new people.
