Wow, mind is blown 10

I have always surrounded myself with people who were upbeat and positive. When I first met XF her friends were very good actors. It was only over time that thier true colors started showing. I think it was the fact that they got comfortable around me and let thier masks at home? One friend in particular that I have been mainly pointing out things about... There was a certain day of the week that was thier "catch up" day. It worked for both of them to sit on the phone for a few hours and talk. It was always while I was at work so it never bothered me. Until I pieced together that the evening of that day when I would get home, XF would always be miserable. It got to a point that I would honestly work late so I would have to deal with less of it and by the next day she would be back to normal.

This girl is considered her BEST friend so I never pointed it out to her. I knew that would only backfire at the time and I would have prolly been accused of being controlling. Looking back, maybe if I would have mentioned it while things between us were good it could have nipped it in the bud? Prolly not but if I had to do it again I would at least try to approach it wearing kids gloves and mention it.
