I want your opinion on them
I have a friend, we worked together in the 80s, had children together in in the 90s, who then, with her family, emigrated, first to Australia, then to NZ. We met up several times, and wrote to each other regularly.
Come the 21st century, I have tried, over the years to keep contact with her. I know our lives have taken different paths, but I did think I was more than an acquaintance - and yet, I seem to have been relegated to the 'round Robin recipient'. I used to laugh at them in the past, she has written this missives for many years, and they do fall into the RR cliche of how well her, her husband and (now grown-up) children are doing.
I think I am just p-off as I wrote to her (well emailed) in November, a specific email for her and her family, and it seems she can't be bothered emailing back, but has just sent the annual 'how wonderful we are' email.
So, shall I just give up spending time writing specific letters to her, she doesn't seem to be interested enough to contact me, or....what could I say that is a polite way of telling her that this is not on, or is it really worth it? Perhaps I have answered my question.
Your thoughts/experiences of these round Robin/bloody emails please......
