What do you do when you no longer like the same things as your close friend ?

Close friends for many years. Lots of mad nights out. I'm now 52 and really don't want the mad nights out. I don't wanna go out at all tbh. I'd rather a night at each other's house. I also don't want shopping days either. I hate shopping now. Friend on the other hand totally loves shopping. Friend would be gutted if I told her all this. What to do ?

You have to tell her. Otherwise your options are (a) getting resentful at always doing what she wants or (b) avoiding her. If she's that good a friend you surely wouldn't want either of those?
What would you like to do during the day time meet ups? Suggest that and see what she comes back with.

Or accept that the friendship has run its course?
