I don't have any friends. I've been dumped by friends before so I find it hard to make new friends, a fear of rejection. But I've been feeling really lonely and was so excited this week when I thought I had maybe made a new friend - we have things in common, chatted online, added each other on FB, exchanged text messages, arranged to meet up at mines today at 1pm.<br><br>I cleaned the house from top to bottom, got some nice biscuits, told her she could bring her DD along to play with my DD, told my DH to be on his best behaviour as well lol<br><br>1pm came and went. 1.15...no sign of her. 1.30pm...DH starts to mutter about 'rudeness', 'waste of a day', 'we could have been doing something else'. 1.45pm...DH demands I text her to find out if she's coming or not.<br><br>I do text her, get a reply back of 2 saying "sorry, I forgot. Had a bereavement. I'll get back to you"<br><br>I feel like crying. I've been let down again. I was so excited about a potential new friendship. DH is furious, saying its not fair on me to go through this again. He also says that if he'd had a bereavement he'd still find the time to let people know he had to cancel. He thinks she's lying although her most recent FB post (yesterday) is just a sad face...<br><br>I did text back, saying "sorry to hear that, don't worry about it" without making any plans for other meet ups etc in case she just doesn't want to.<br><br>I don't know if IABU? I feel guilty to think that someone would make up a bereavement but I've had lots of experience of people letting me down I can't help but think the problem is me.<br><br>I feel extra sensitive as all my family are abroad atm so I have no one but DH.
