Have known flaky friend for nearly 20 years.

We are obviously still in touch although meeting up is sporadic. This doesn't bother me as I am busy with work, 3 kids and other stuff.

What does bother me is, 9 times out of 10, on the occasions we do arrange to meet she cancels at the last minute. Today a text at 1015 when I was due at hers at 1030, I had already left the house.

The lack of contact isn't an issue, I am neither lonely nor needy. I am working all weekend and could have used today to do something else. Instead I am left high and dry, as per fucking usual when I am supposed to see this friend Angry

She also missed a rather important celebration of mine last year, no notice given. Only response was when I text her a few days later to see why she hadn't bothered showing up.

So, her wedding is next month and at this minute I have no inclination to go. I am so fucking angry and, tbh, I think this friendship is over for me. I can no longer be arsed.

AIBU?

How long ago was the wedding ? Has she gone away ?

Good call. Next time she texts and wants a meet up, may I suggest:

'Sorry, but I think you're probably going to be busy that day.'

Might take her a while to work it out...

It was about a month ago.

Good thinking there crunch, I may well use that.

I think I would go - better person and all that. Don't spend any money on it - no outfit etc, but go and try to have a nice time. Then, at the end of the evening, you can say goodbye and wish her well for the future. You walk away head held high and having drawn a line under it all by saying goodbye.

Should've read all the posts

But fwiw I think you did the right thing
