We have been friends for nearly twenty years. She is a high achiever where as I have only ever wanted to have a role that brought me satisfaction and personal reward, I'm not a glory or money hunter.
Over time it has become apparent that she considered us to be closer friends than I ever considered us to be, we have never been fully compatible in my eyes but she can be OK in small doses.
She has always been persistent in wanting to meet up, more frequently than I may have liked, but I go along with it. Every single time she is late, I cannot be doing with tardiness, and if were a business meeting she would be on time.
Recently I have been unwell and hospitalised, she wanted to meet up before she went on an extended overseas trip. I was given a window of opportunity and made some suggestions, she responded with can't do x, y or z. I then went into hospital and emailed explaining the situation, she emailed me back wanting to visit in hospital (I loathe hospital visitors) or to come to my home when I was discharged (when I'd be recuperating and the burden of visitors would be unbearable).
In the end we couldn't meet before she departed and I sent her an email wishing her well for her secondment and explained that I was sorry that we hadn't met up but I had been really quite unwell (5 days in hospital isn't trivial) and I had felt a little badgered by her persistence.
I have heard nothing since.
So, WIBU?
