Dear Queenie,
I have a friend who loves to gossip. After hearing her talk about another friend of ours I began to wonder what kind of things she was saying about me and who she was saying them to, so I stopped seeing her.
When she asked what the problem was I told her and she apologised and we started seeing each other again, but then she started gossiping to me about another friend of ours so I cut her off again.
Queenie, my question is, should I tell our other friends she was gossiping about them?—Fed up
Dear Fed up,
If your other friends ask you why you stopped being friends with the gossiper, tell them it was because of her gossiping about you. Let them figure out for themselves that she is probably treating them the same way.
