Friendship troubles

Hi,
I won't elaborate on the details, but about 1 1/2 years ago
I was really close to this one girl who went to my church and
we had gotten to know each other over a mission trip. I starte to think
of her as my best friend, we hung out all the time, I confided in her and she
confided in me, it we always enjoyed hanging out. Overtime I noticed that she started
talking to my sister more and started hanging out with her more, then suddenly
we stopped talking and hanging out, all together. and I felt really betrayed not only by her
because she decided to be best friends with my sister, but my sister for acting
like it's no big deal and that I should move on. Since then I've forgiven her, but I haven't
forgotten how much it hurt me. Now when my sister brings her over to the house
to hang out, I hate being there, I don't talk, and in the end it's really awkward. Today my sister
confronted mr about it and said that her friend felt uncomfortable and bad about being at the house, she then asked me what I was going to change about the way I'm acting. My question is what do I do about it? I've lost friendships before, but the difference is is that none of those friends went to my
sister. If I see them I'll say hi and go on my way. When she comes to the house I say hi, the problem
is is that she stays and I'm not ok with acting all nice and friendly and hold this long conversation with her. I know it's long, but I could use any advice and it'd be nice to get a new view on things.

Sincerely,
Stumped

Hi Roxie and welcome to Grace Centered Christian Forums. I moved your thread here to get more input. It's good to have you join us.

it sounds to me like your friend and your sister simply discovered that they had a lot in common.  Seems like you and your sister are fairly close in age.  Is there any reason that the three of you cannot be friends?  Maybe this girl is wondering why you won't "share" her with your sister.  Try to understand her position and maybe the three of you can "hang out" together sometimes.  It might also help you and your sister have an even closer relationship.

God Bless.

Either be friends with her together or let it go and just enjoy having your own friends.Be kind and welcoming when she does come round. These things happen in life.

One of the most hurtful things that can happen to us in life is having a friend move on without you.  It's happened to me and I know that feeling.  Usually, I'm sorry to say, there's no way back; therefore the best thing to do is find new friends and hopefully one of them will become your new BFF.  And, even though it's hard to do, you have to forgive both of them.

All the best for a happy life.

Thank you, all of you, for your insight. My sister and I are twins believe
it or not and because of this our relationship isn't where it should be. I know
it might take time, but I plan on starting to pray that God helps me see and accept
the loss of a friend, and I'm also going to pray that he provides me with the
right attitude and words to say whenever my sister brings her over to the house,
and who knows maybe eventually I'll be able to feel omfortable enough about us all hangig
out together. Thank you again and I hope God blesses yall and your family! =)

Sincerely,
Roxie

Hi Roxie and welcome,

This is my advice that you should sit down with your sister and this other person and talk about how you feel so you can resolve these hurt feelings. Me personally I hate confrontation, but sometimes we need to confront so we can have peace and joy back in our lives again. It could all turn out that all three of you can enjoy each others company, but you will never know if you do not speak from your heart for this matter. God bless you and will keep you in prayer for this.
