Almost four years ago I met my friend Jane. Its not her real name but you get the jest. We met on a message board for mothers when our children where both very young infants. We have met in person and her family has stayed at our home many times. I have always trusted her and what she has said about her home life. I have been there for her and her family. Tonight I sent some pictures of our new furniture and what we have done to the house in terms of remodeling. This was through a chat program that I sent the pictures, her family hadn't been here since we first moved in. She sent a message to me describing her new furniture and what she had done to her home. Well it was the same as what I had done. She didn't realize that she had sent the message to me. She was chatting with others as we talked online. She was sending my pictures out as her own, and describing what we had done in our own home to whom she thought was someone else. All she said was "oops, you weren't meant to see that!". And then proceeded to act like nothing happened. I asked her about it bluntly and she acted like it wasn't even an issue? I am more than a little pissed about this. Why the big story about her life and home? And why would she keep my pictures and use them for her own benefit? I caught her in the lie and now she just doesn't want to talk about it. Grrrrrrr. I can only hope that we represent ourselves in an honest way online, just as much as we do in person. That kind of bullshit gets under my skin. What would you do?
