OK so I am really struggling with a very dear and old friendship (20yrs plus and include relationship breakdowns / divorces) I have 2 children am married and work part-time. Dear friend works full-time, single, is financially much better off and lives about 40 mins away in a beautiful and immaculate home!
We normally meet about every 6 weeks with me traveling to see her, I don't take the kids as there would be nothing for them do and they would get bored, so I go alone. We will only meet at the weekend as this suits her better.
I am struggling with the friendship, for although it's very dear to me, she seems to take little interest in what's happening in my life, not interested in my kids and will not travel to see me because she doesn't like driving that much and she has far a similar distance when going to work.
Does anyone else have similar friendships and how do they survive without resentment?
