I Despise Emotional Vampires

So I've posted about this woman before, but she's getting worse 🤦

We are on a very low, single income. She's on over a hundred grand (UK £) plus regular bonuses from her husband's job. He's absolutely slaving away to get promotion after promotion but she's never, ever satisfied. She's constantly moaning about him not "noticing" things or if he doesn't act a certain way or say a certain things she sulks all night. When he's working at home, it's "oh he's always working and I have to spend time with the children!!" 🙄

She also likes to complain endlessly about how poor she is to me. I've told her not to, but she seems to have forgotten. We both have a child with a learning disability. She openly spoils her first (typical) child and seems to be proud when she tells me she's spent £600 for Christmas on the 2 year old and nothing on the baby. Or she's been out clothes shopping and got masses for herself and her toddler but again, nothing for baby. She actually lists every item of clothing and then makes a point of telling me the baby got nothing.

She tells me multiple times she wants to have an affair, she's unhappy, he treats her terribly (because he got home late etc) and she's going to run away and regularly does. When she does "run away" she only takes her eldest child and leaves the baby with her husband and doesn't see a problem telling me this. She cancels trips for them she's booked on the spur of the moment because she's fallen out with her husband, yet she runs up his credit card every month, while simultaneously saying she's so poor.

Her latest thing is telling me she can't possibly go back to work (part time, from home) because she has the children, despite the 2 year old being in full time nursery. Also bemoaning the fact she's had to reduce the nursery to part time because apparently she can't afford it and this is the worst thing in the world. She "could" stop work, but that would mean she'd have to sell her mercedes and get a cheaper car and no way she's doing that. She's also apparently cancelling all of her baby's support services because she "can't be arsed" to take her.

She's absolutely bizarre. I think it's got to the point where I'm still talking to her out of fascination for what she'll come out with next 🤷‍♀️

It's annoying and for your own personal well being you need to separate. She isnt coping with having a child with a disability , that's normal.
She probably is in financial difficulty but trying to keep up appearances by living on credit cards, again she can't have a disabled child as it doesn't fit with the overall perfect lifestyle.
The husband probably doesn't pay her attention coz if they been together long enough, the relationship may be stale, she's wearing thin on him due to her demands, or maybe he made a rod for his own back claiming to provide a lifestyle that he's probably tired of. Who knows?
Walk away or don't walk away. You're the one that has to or doesn't have to listen to it

I make an effort to cut out toxic people from my life now. In fact, I make it a mission to free myself from the likes of these energy dampeners.

Materialism for you.......can't blame her, it's a very dominant narrative
