I have a friend who has been acting really strangely for several months and has definitely dropped me (and most of the group who used to see each other a lot.) I was wondering if anyone had any insights into her behaviour.
I have known her for 5 years and we used to see each other very regularly, about twice a week in a group of about 4 or 5 of us. Our DC are similar ages. Then she began to HE her 2 DSs and things have changed since then. She's very sensitive and I worry I might have offended her with a couple of unintentionally tactless comments about this.
As she got into HE she began to not reply to texts or FB messages from any of us. I had a baby a few months ago and she has shown no interest except for a very short FB comment. Anyway, I assumed she was busy/stressed with HE so tried not to be hurt. I have sent her a couple of FB messages over the last few months- no reply.
I had given up on her when my DM ran into her- it was all very friendly and she mentioned how she had lost touch with everyone so thought I'd send her a final message. A couple of days later she replied then I realised she had defriended me on FB! She's also defriended the rest of the original group.
I find it all very strange and quite hurtful. If I had caused some offence why not just tell me? I know the friendship is over but I wish I knew why- should I email/ phone her or just leave it? Sorry this has turned out very long!
