Let's be clear here, I don't actually mind if she does, but I'm not absolutely sure..
I have known this person for many years, we used to live very close to each other as teens and were not that close then. Her family is somewhat dysfunctional (sister suffers with depression, parents separated then got back together, she has passive/aggressive attitude and is somewhat selfish). Years after living nearby she became ill, we got friendly and ended up in a house share in our 20s. We had our ups and downs but got along. We're now both in our 40's. She has a wealthy feller, a nice house and does temp work.
Since I got pregnant last year she has been more distant. She was invited to baby shower but couldn't/didn't come although she sent me a cheque to "get something for the baby". I have invited her and her DP over several times but her standard response is "You're a busy mum."
I'll be going back to Uni soon and won't have time for socialising so another invite will be unlikely on my part til nearer the next holidays.
Incidentally she usually tells everyone what she wants for her birthday many weeks ahead. However, she said to me "As you're not earning, let's not bother with presents or cards this year".
My gut says she is ditching me. My nice side says give her another chance. My head says it's no loss either way.
