Ask Amy: Self-taught expert oversteps with advice
Dear Amy: For the past four years my husband and I have invited two ladies to join us in sharing a condo we rent in Mexico.
One woman, who I thought was a close friend, brought the other along and I grew to really like her. We enjoy them.
They get a real deal when they visit, as we charge them a minimal rent.
It started out as seven days. Then they asked for two weeks, but I told them that 10 days was really my limit.
One year, they invited a third woman along without even consulting me. I told them I wasn't open to that.
The problem I'm having is that they are never in touch during the year. I’m not invited anywhere with them. Both women are divorced, and I am not, and perhaps that's part of it.
I wonder if I'm just being used as a nice place to stay in the winter.
I recently saw on Facebook that they're going to Florida for a vacation, and I'm hurt that I wasn't invited.
Am I overreacting — or am I being played?
