Friendship

Just wondering how to deal with this situation...
I had a baby 2 months ago and my so called close friend has been home 2 weeks as she lives away half the time and has not been round to visit baby for first time.

This girl has let me down so many times in the past but for some reason I just forgive her but i'm now fed up of listening to her excuses (when I do see her) as I just feel everything she says is a lie.
I describe her as a very selfish person which I've known for years. Then I feel sorry for her as she has some personal issues and give her the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe this is the time to let go of the friendship as I have a new chapter in my life as she already does not seem interested.

I never understand why people call 'friends' friends when they're not friendly or kind.

This person is someone you know.

Imo she's not a friend.

Thinking of her as 'someone you know' takes away expectations which are part of the problem here

Treat her as you would someone who is an acquaintance. No expectations needed

Look up the definition of friendship, I think you'll realise this isn't one. I personally couldn't be bothered to waste another precious second thinking about her. Block and move on!

Let it go...
People come in and out of your life at different stages and they can come back again or not.

Either speak to her and ask, what's going on and listen but equally explain your hurt ....,or let it go.

She could be going through something your not aware of.

Not coming to meet baby is Crud of her. Speak to her

Thank you guys.

I know deep inside what I should do but reading it makes it's clearer.

I should have done it years ago.

I'm just too a nice person and have many friends so she's not going to be a big loss in my life.

I'm obviously still caring hence why I wrote this but it's doesn't hurt like it used to.

Fuck her 😀
