I was talking to a friend today ( non swinger)and she was telling me about a mutual acquaintance of ours that seems to just ignore my friends feelings and wishes over a lot of things mostly mundane but over time I think resentment has built up.

Do you mean she has no tact, and or is selfish/ego centric? |

I think in situations like that you have to be blunt and tell it how it is. Tell this mutual acquaintance how your friend feels or your friend should tell them herself. |

If the mutual acquaintance cannot empathise and sees their actions as normal (such as some on the autistic spectrum) then it's your friend who needs to adjust her own thinking and let the behaviour of said person wash over her. |

I USED to have some friends like that. Over time and after being ignored and being TOLD what I needed to do in my life, I just decided one day that enough was enough.
I didn't argue or say anything, I just backed off and let them get on without me. I've never been one for having loads of close friends but these few were just taking advantage and basically taking the piss.
I'm now much happier and come and go as I please without any ridicule or criticism from anyone!  |

I have said this, I suggested she should distance herself for a short while. |

Good for you! I am hoping my friend can solve the issues. |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
Take a holiday from the friend for a little while. Come back refreshed and when it feels clingy again step away for a while.
That is unless they are really malignant parasites sucking the life out of you in which case you need to cut them out permanently.

Thanks! I hope she can too, life is too short to have your wishes ignored and be used by people who are meant to be friends  |

This is more or less verbatim, what I said to my friend earlier. |

If you have been saying the same thing many times then your friend may be getting something out of parasitic relationship. Possibly being the martyr and transferring the burden by sharing it generously with her/his other friends (i.e. you).

I have in the past given the straight talking approach, but that is me, as I respect it myself if I am doing wrong.
If this approach is impossible, take a step back and wait to be asked what's wrong then do the same.
This is me, as I feel that going round the houses with things don't work.
A good clearing of the air.

Both funky' sand wyrd's have made me chuckle.
But seriously I gad a friend who was like your acquaintance and I phased her out, finally my best friend has seen her in the same light at last and has done just the same. You don't need people like that in your life if you do not wish them to be |

Keep the people in your life who are worth keeping. When someone treats you badly, in whatever form, you have to consider why you're putting up with that. If something or someone doesn't make you happy then it's time to stop. |

How do you feel about the mutual friend?
If you have no problem with them then the issue is hers alone.
It's common practice for some individuals that have issues with someone to attempt to pass those issues on, in an attempt to either isolate said person from a group (work, social, family etc) or to convince others that the problem is with them rather than themselves.
If you have no personal problem with them - why get involved?

The longer it has been going on, the more difficult it is to keep in check.
Taking a step back is less confrontational than a punch in the neck but has less "job satisfaction"
