oh, I sooooo need to get a grip! One of my closest friends of the last 20ish years has just essentially dumped me - & I need a short sharp ‘shit happens, move on’ lecture. We speak often but see each other (covid permitting) once or twice a year when we stay at each other’s houses for a night or so. Have also been on family holidays at least 8 times together. She’s announced it’s no longer convenient for them to all come to us/us to them so she’ll deign to see me in a certain city for a meal (2 hours ish) - she lives 1 hour from the location and I live 4 hours away - she wants me to travel 8 hours for a 2 hour catch up?! Maybe she’s decided she doesn’t like my kids (my 14 yr old likes sport, hers likes the pub🤷🏼♀️) but whatever, I’m really insulted. Thought we had much better foundations than this and I thought much better of her☹️
