Hi. I need some help and I don’t really know where to put this. But I need to see all perspectives.

I got fired from my job 3 years ago which shattered me because I take so much pride in my work, within 2 weeks of getting fired, I picked up the pieces and opened my own business. I had no clue what I was doing but I did it & I was so happy. My husband decides he wants to move across the country. I did not want to do this. But I supported him 100 and we left. I left all my clients, most of my room decor, bed, etc… it was sold to someone I had considered a best friend but was also in the same line of work as I was. I helped her get her job in her career, she stayed working at the salon I got fired from, she went on maternity leave and I helped her start her own business. Even referring people to her. I share my professional room with her. Charging her a small amount of rent even though she was using all my things. I invested in almost everything. She didn’t get along with the landlord. Anyways. I left the state & sent all my clients to her. She decides to leave the room we split, for some place cheaper.

After 5 months, We decide to move back to our home state. I let my friend know all my plans. And that I planned on going back to the room we shared because it was available and convenient. I’ve met so many new people and I just want some comfort for a while. I told all my clients I was moving, some personal and some not. I told my friend everything. Even how sad I was some of them were not coming back to me but that I’m happy.

She sent me a message today and said that she doesn’t know where our friendship is anymore. She said that I sent all my clients to her and that sometimes I say things that are insensitive and that she’s hurt I’m going back to the room where she doesn’t get along with the land lords.

To top it all off, she’s been posting pictures of her hanging out with my clients, or the work she does on them.. when she doesn’t post on socials hardly at all. It’s hard not to take this to heart. The clients I had, I had known them for years. I don’t expect them to come back but it still hurts.

I guess I’m just confused and hurt. That someone I helped out, in such a major way… is deciding to potentially end our friendship because I’ve decided to move back to where I know is a safe space for me and my business.

Please help me
