I have had a friend for over 25 years however she has a history of being really selfish. We did not speak once for a few years after I had DS and she did not contact me in anyway in the months afterwards. Not a card or a visit. I did suffer from PND and felt really let down by her. When we started talking again I did explain to her how hurt I was by this and she said she would try to be better.
Recently I have had a really tough few months and invited her down to visit me as I really could do with a good chat with a friend over a bottle of wine. We live about an hour and a half drive from each other and the last two times we have met up I have gone to see her. I thought it was fair to ask her to come and visit me. She does not have a car but it takes the same amount of time on the train. She messaged be back and said come and visit her. I have a sprained wrist (which she knew) so I can't drive I texted back and said sorry I can't drive at the moment because of my wrist (to be honest even if I could drive I don't think it was my turn). Since then no reply from her for two weeks.
I feel let down again. She gets the train other places, is financially well off and no DC. I did not even give a date just a when would you be free to meet up in the next month?
AIBU to ask her to get on the train just once? Especially since I have had a really tough few months which she knows? Or am I expecting much? I have a very difficult relationship with my family so perhaps I ask too much of my friends. It seems petty to end a 25 year friendship for one missed night out but I feel she always lets me down?
