I had this lady friend and every time we talked she monopolized all the time on the phone. I couldn't get a word in edgewise. She would also talk over me if I started saying something. If I did get a chance to talk sometimes I'd talk for awhile and then she'd turn the conversation back about herself most of the time. I felt terrible after we talked most of the time. So I decided to tell her how she acts when we talk. I wrote her an email about it because it's hard to get a word in edgewise when we talk on the phone. She didn't write anything back. So I wrote back and and asked her if she had anything to say and she said "I'm sorry you feel that way". I then wrote her back and asked her if there was anything else she had to say and she said "There's nothing more to say." In my first email to her I also had told her how I wanted to be friends and would like to be able to express myself, too.

So getting back to the end of this, after she said "There's nothing more to say" I wrote back and asked her if she was pissed off with me at all. She wrote back that she wastn't po'd until I wrote her back and that I should just get used to people monopolizing conversations and how people do it to her all the time and that maybe I should talk to my therapist about it and then at the end of her email she said "just so you know I am VERY ANGRY."

I just could not believe what I read and got mad and wrote her back and told her that I should be the one who was mad with how she treated me and that I felt she was being insensitive and that I no longer wanted anything to do with her.

I just felt that I wanted a friendship with equal communication and wasn't getting that at all. I did realize that it won't always be that way because needs differ at times but this went on for a year of me putting up with that nonsense. I should have not got involved with her in the first place. My instincts told me not to but she pursued a friendship with me. Well, I ended it and am glad.

I need some support that I did the right thing and am not just a crazy person.
