Very long story short, been friends for about 8 years. We were neighbours, 2 doors down (she has since moved away). Similar interests, similar sticky family situations, got along well. Messaged each other most days, knew a lot about each others lives
I went through a very difficult and emotional time in the past few months. She had been through something very similar a few years ago. I found virtually zero empathy coming my way from her. Shut me down or changed subject when I mentioned feeling sad, angry etc. Challenged her about this a couple of months ago, didn't go brilliantly, agreed to move on, but I felt extremely let down by her
Barely any contact since, and all of it initiated by me. Until today, when I got a message saying we couldn't be friends anymore, as I wasnt any good for her. I feel shocked, hurt, angry....... but also a bit relieved. A bit stunned by the coldness and finality of it, but there we are
Anyone had a similar experience of a friend withdrawing for not very clear reasons?
