I have a friend that I've known for 23 years, since we started high school in fact. In recent years (mainly since we both had children) she has become very unreliable - virtually every time we organise to meet up, she cancels at the last minute. Then when we DO manage to catch up, it's usually on her terms (where we go, what we do etc). Well dh and I were supposed to go to her place tomorrow (Saturday) for afternoon tea - which we planned weeks ago - and she phones me the afternoon before and says "I think we'll just have to cancel tomorrow because I've been so busy, timing's not right, etc etc". Excuse me??????? We planned this weeks ago, at her invitation. I was going to make a cake tonight to take with me tomorrow, luckily I didn't because it turns out we're not going anyway. I am so tired of her treating me this way (although I'm sure she does it to others as well) that when she apologised for cancelling, I just said "Forget it - every time we organise something I know it's not going to happen anyway." She sounded pretty taken aback, and now I'm wondering if I may have in fact done something to end our friendship, but I am just so tired of it. 23 years is a lot to throw away, but this has been going on for so long and as I said, it happens EVERY time we plan to see each other. To make it worse, she lives 5 minutes' drive from me and it really is not that difficult to catch up with each other. Thanks for listening - guess I'm feeling pretty p**d off at the moment.
