I've recently got back in touch with an old school friend from school via facebook.
Since we were at school, she's had a pretty hard time if things - failed ivf, health problems, husband leaving her.
We met for lunch a few months ago and it was quite draining. I've just got married and am expected ting first DC so obviously didn't want to dwell on that. So we spent a lot of time speaking about her problems etc -which was understandable.
We arranged to meet more recently and she was about 90 minutes late - albeit she did text me but only when I had texted her to see where she was after waiti g for 15 minutes. She kept saying she was en route etc but then didn't appear for anothet hour or so. I was just about to send a final text saying I was leaving when she appeared. Again, the lunch was quite draining as we just went through the same problems again and the fact that her ex now seemed to be going out with one of her friends. Which is horrible, of course.
I've now just started mat leave and friend has been asking abou meeting up for lunch but I just can't face. I'm knackered but also feeling a bit hormonal and just feel I can't sit through another 3 hour lunch listening to more problems etc. however, another part if me thinks that I'm being really unkind and that I should try and offer a bit if support as it is only a few hours.
DH thinks it's a complete no brainer and I should just make a polite excuse etc. specifically in case I have to sit there for 90 mins again waiting. I just don't know though and feel I'm being unkind
