you guys are far more confrontational than I am. I'd just block her.
LOL. If it were a friend I hadn't known for very long I probably would. I've known her half my life, so I feel some obligation to not ruining the friendship over it.
I'm probably not the best person to give advice here, because saying no has never been a problem for me. You're absolutely right that if she had access to email the info to you, she had access to do it herself. And that's pretty much what I would say. The one thing I know for sure is that people who push boundaries like this will push until you draw a line. If it ends the friendship, I guess my question would be- will you really miss her? It doesn't sound like it. Friendships have to work both ways.
"I'm too busy" works. Even if you're busy painting your nails or watching grass grow, busy is busy = can't do it.
I'm a total pushover who always caves to these sorts of requests, but I figure I need to accrue karma points for that one time I hit and severely dented up a parked car and drove away in a panic.
Regardless of the UE request your friend sounds like a hot mess. I just ended a friendship of 19 years for similar reasons. Not only one-sided but very toxic and draining being her sounding board to all of her self-inflicted drama. If she doesn't get her act together (it's not like we're 19) I'd consider distancing myself as hard as it may be.
