Aum says a mutual friend, an actress identified in the media as J, and widely thought to be Channel 3 actress Janie Tienposuwan, asked Aum's boyfriend to a party without telling her.
That's annoying, but her love interest, Kornwat "Note'' Chaiwirawat, said nothing either, which made it worse.
"I feel as if I was slapped in the face,'' said forthright Aum.
"The two were friends before I came along, but I am also a friend of actress J, and feel she should have told me,'' said Aum.
Media reports said Note made eyes at actress J all night, and when it was over, dropped her off at home.
Last August, Note was linked to a socialite kathoey, Ratchada "Amie'' Krutramas.
Aum said Note and his friends hired Amie to help them cheer the World Cup football, and insisted Amie meant nothing to her boyfriend.
Last week, Note's eye for the ladies forced Aum to front up to the media again. "I keep encountering the same problems with Note,'' Aum said, referring to his mischievous ways.
"He has apologised, and is now behaving. He says he will avoid risky situations, and is likely to cut down on his women friends.
"There's no point in getting upset with the woman. The blame lies entirely with the man, as he didn't have to go,'' she said.
"For as long as I can keep forgiving him, we'll carry on like this, as I am learning to expect it. But I'd rather deal with a new problem for a change ... not this same old, same old where Note is concerned.'' -

The mother of actress Savika "Pinky'' Chaiyadej has jumped in to defend her daughter amid reports that she may be jettisoned from a big-budget TV soap.
Pinky is battling with unsympathetic public opinion after news of her affair with businessman Peck Sunchai - husband of actress and presenter Tanyaret "Tanya'' Engtrakul - surfaced last April.
Peck and Tanya now live on different continents as they try to overcome their marriage troubles, while Pinky last October asked for a break from the industry to give her reputation time to recover.
Pinky splits her time between here and India, where she is trying to launch a Bollywood career.
With production on her first Bollywood movie now wrapped, the doe-eyed actress wants to make a return to acting in Thailand, and was hoping her old production house, Kantana, would cast her in the lead of Ee-Nao, a big-budget period drama it is making for Channel 9.
However, word in the media is that Channel 9 has objected to Pinky being cast in the lead.
Kanata won't comment until Channel 9 has announced its programming line-up. A buang suang ceremony heralding the start of production will be held within days.
Pinky's mother is already in defensive mode, saying it is too early to talk of her daughter being dismissed, as she has yet to be formally cast.
"We've never said Pinky had clinched the role, so talk of her being dismissed is premature,'' she said.
"We have to wait for the right opportunity to come along,'' she said, which suggests that Pinky's public rehabilitation is some way off yet. -

Actor Somchai "Tao'' Kemklad has fallen in with his director's line that the souls of departed children are haunting the set of his latest movie.
Weeks before the launch of a horror about aborted foetuses found at a city temple, Tao, one of the movie's stars, has overcome his earlier scepticism about claims that ghosts from the temple were spooking the set.
The film, Sop Dek 2000 Sop, is based on the real-life discovery of 2,002 aborted foetuses at Wat Phai Ngern Chotanaram.
Director Poj Anon last month said the souls of the aborted babies were interposing themselves in scenes he was shooting.
He showed reporters pictures where ghosts had supposedly popped up in the frame.
One figure appears in the back seat of a car as Tao is driving, while another shrouds the face of actress Pitchanat "May'' Sakakorn.
While May said she was too scared to visit the temple to shoot the movie's morgue scenes, Tao - alone among the cast - said he was not convinced that spirits were paying them a visit.
"It depends on your point of view,'' he said drily.
By last week, however, Tao said he had changed his mind.
The back-seat visit by the ghostly apparition had left him unnerved, he said.
"When I get in a car, I look in the back seat to see if anything is there. These days, I have a strange feeling that I am being followed.''
Poj is known for his flair for publicity, if not for the quality of the movies he makes. The movie opens in cinemas on March 12. -

A gay socialite's defence on charges that he duped youngsters with promises of an easy entry to the entertainment industry is off to a bad start.
Huai Khwang police last week arrested Rath "Champ'' Rimpleekul at a city restaurant on charges that he duped wannabe stars into believing his dance and acting school would help their chances of success.
Police said youngsters who paid course fees of 5,000-6,000 baht each, but had yet to find any work, had laid complaints at police stations as far apart as Bang Phongphang and Pathumwan.
Denying he ripped anyone off, "hi-so Champ'', as he is known in the media, said he could not be expected to find work for everyone, as some students just weren't good enough.
Champ claims he is a former manager of late-night cable TV presenter Saruta "Mor Oiy'' Reungwiriya, though Mor Oiy denies it.
Last August, Mor Oiy, an actress, and a long-time dance school head laid a complaint against Champ, alleging he dragged their names into a bogus cable TV venture.
The news is getting worse for hi-so Champ. Police say that as they looked into the dance school complaint, they discovered he was already in trouble with the law.
Pak Kret police had secured an arrest warrant against him stemming from a theft complaint.
Champ said a friend started a venture making business cards. He came across a credit card belonging to one customer, and took it for a spin.
Using the card, he bought a personal computer, mobile phone, and jewellery worth more than 30,000 baht. Eventually the card's owner caught up with him.
The two had now settled the matter, he claimed, adding he did not "intend'' to steal. -

A film director has one month to find 250,000 baht he defrauded from the extended family of a country music singer.
The Phra Nakhon North court last week found Perng Mang (The Haunted Drum) director, Nuttpeera "Chen'' Chomsri had defrauded the family of Thidarat "Oiy'' Attarat.
It agreed with the family's July, 2009, complaint that Chen took money intended for a film editing studio. The court has given him until March 12 to pay it back, or he will be sent to jail.
Oiy is the on-again, off-again girlfriend of country music singer Sorapob "Petch'' Leelamekin.
Oiy's mum said the director persuaded Petch to help him open a business which would edit films from a local production company.
The family spent 100,000 baht renting and equipping an office for him, and sent an additional 250,000 baht to his account for film editing gear. Chen, however, rarely turned up, and failed to buy the editing equipment.
Speaking at the court, Oiy, accompanied by Petch, said Chen had earlier asked for her mother's apology, and offered to pay back the money by instalment.
"He said he had been out of work for three months, and asked to pay it off gradually ... but the payments never arrived,'' she said.
