Manipulative friend's antics

A couple of years ago I became friends with my boyfriend's friend's girlfriend as we got on. I have met up with her on our own a few times, I have noticed she is saying things which to me says she is a troublemaker.

We went away on holiday last year and a blazing row happened between her and her boyfriend as I accidently let slip something he said - she still mentions this argument.

She has been on the dole for 6 months yet does nothing to sort this. She keeps mentioning my boyfriend's ex which is her ex best friend, I wish she wouldn't mention her as they fell out over 3 years ago and I am not particularly fond of his ex. Then she had the cheek to recently say my relationship is a rebound relationship just cos my boyfriend still loved his ex the night I met him.

I know her and her boyfriend are having their problems but she keeps interfering by making comments which she knows I would want to question my boyfriend about.

I hadn't heard from her for 3 weeks, I usually contact her. I told my boyfriend I hadn't been bothered to text her and he kinda snapped and says don't be lazy. So now I wonder if she has been slagging me to her boyfriend as she is quite bitchy. My boyfriend doesn't realise whenever I hear off her it makes me down with her meddling ways and laziness. I am annoyed he doesn't see the bad in her.

I'd cut all ties. She sounds awful.

The best thing it do is leave her behind, if you continue to let her walk all over you she will then work her way on your boyfriend and her boyfriend's friendship and you will get the blame by associating with her. If your boyfriend acts like that again tell him 'sorry but you don't know her so don't speak like that about her'. You do have to tread carefully as guys can be funny about their friendships.

yeah..just ignore her..and try to talk to your boyfriend about it..make him realise that you are right and he doesnot end up doing something stupid..i know one really gets hurt if get to hear about your boyfriends ex..but the fact is it was true right?..and this is the main thing which she is using to bug you..so just ignore her
