I used to be very good friends with a woman I used to work with at my previous company, which I left in February. We used to have lunch together every day at work, go for walks when the weather was nice etc.
After I left, I sent her three emails within the space of a month asking how she was, did she want to meet up etc and I always got back short, curt replies.
Since I left the company, it hit me that it had been a completely one sided relationship. It was always about her and I just realised she never asked how I was, she didn't even congratulate me when I got the new job.
Last week she sent me an email asking why she hadn't heard from me - again a little dribble about how she was doing and nothing about how am I, how is the new job etc, how was my wedding (she was invited but didn't rsvp). I was abroad and didn't reply. The next day, she she sent another mail asking why I haven't replied. I got back yesterday so that's why.
Everytime I think about this woman now, I get really annoyed with myself for not noticing her behaviour earlier and why I put up with it so long.
I really don't want any contact with her ever again, especially given she still couldn't be bothered to ask how I was last week, I don't have space for people like that in my life. So, should I reply to her email and tell her why? Ignore it? Send her a polite mail back but ask her not to contact me again?
