WHEN my bloke announced that he’s organised a special dinner for my 30th birthday I was delighted.

We all rocked up at a hotel where a table was laid for 30 people.

He and I were at one end with my parents.

From the start I could see that my best mate had the filthiest look on her face. I thought she might be ill and kept mouthing, “Are you OK?” Worrying about her actually spoilt the night for me.

The next day I received a stinking text telling me that she was insulted that she’d been “stuck down the end, by the toilets”. She felt my bloke had deliberately snubbed her with his seating plan because he hates her.

My bloke spent a lot of money on that dinner. Now she expects an apology from us. How dare she?

JANE SAYS: Your friend sounds like she’s got an enormous sense of self-entitlement. It was your party, yet she has contrived to spoil things.

Doesn’t it cross her mind that she was fortunate to be invited to such a special (and expensive) occasion in the first place?

Is she inclined to be something of a monster? Has she pulled other stunts like this?

You must tell her, in no uncertain terms, that you’re not going to apologise for anything.

Explain that her miserable face upset you on the night and that her rude text has hurt you.

I get the impression she’s the one who is jealous of your man and the relationship you enjoy.

Do you really need someone this immature in your life? Do not allow her to make you feel guilty or bad for anything that has happened.
