I've known her for about 10 years. We used to be very close and would see a lot of each other, but things have changed over the past couple of years - a combination of me becoming a mum and her doing a lot of travelling. Our lives are very different now and we barely see each other.

Anyway...she is currently back in the UK for just a little over a week before she sets off travelling again, so I expect it would be several months before my next opportunity to see her. I would have loved to have caught up with her whilst she was here, even if only briefly - so I said to let me know if she had a spare hour. I'm a sahm so am totally flexible as to where and when, I knew she would be busy whilst back (family and lots of friends) and would have been happy to have fit in with whatever was best for her.

In the end she said that she wouldn't have time to meet. I thought fair enough, she'll be busy with family etc. Quietly disappointed, but fine with it. Until a couple of mutual friends have posted on Facebook about how nice it has been to see her, can't wait to see her again on Friday, yada yada.

Now I am feeling upset that obviously she's had time for them - and it's clear that I'm not as high up on her priorities as perhaps I once was. Obviously I'm not going to say anything, it's up to her how she spends her time and I look forward to hopefully seeing her next time. But AIBU to be feeling upset? Would you?
