To think that she can't be that busy?

[Starbucks90]

How would you feel if you sent a really long text about something really difficult that you’re going through, like a divorce and at the end of the text, you’ve asked for their advice on something, and the friend says they haven’t read all of it but will reply soon. It’s been 5 days since I’ve heard from that friend, still waiting for a reply. In the meantime she’s posted pics on her social media accounts about food and the things she’s been doing in the last few days. And even on her WhatsApp status she posted a picture 1 hour ago.

AIBU to think she can’t be that busy that she can’t spare 5 min to get back to me? I feel really hurt and upset by this.

Perhaps she is struggling to know what to say and wants to put some thought into it? She could feel that a quick reply won’t cut it but hasn’t had the headspace and time to put together a proper response. Just trying to give the benefit of the doubt.

I agree with others who have said she probably doesn't know what to say and is putting off replying. It takes 2 mins to post a quick photo on FB, yes, but it takes much longer to craft a sensitively worded reply including advice.

As you haven't really answered any questions, it's hard to advise without some context.

OP you haven't answered the questions about your friendship that people have asked?

Just like she's ignoring you, you're ignoring us....

Some things are just inappropriate to text about out, I would hate to get a long text from someone about a personal matter - I would much rather they sent a quick text saying 'when is a good time to call for a chat?'. It is very difficult to reply sincerely to texts about personal issues.

I had a friend like this. She used to do this to me all the time. One day I had enough after she did again, exactly same scenario as you just described and I told her she was being a crap friend. She ignored me for like a week and that told me all I needed to know. Told her I was done and have not spoken to her in almost a year now. And I feel so much better for it. We were best friends for 10 years but I can honestly say it's the best thing I ever did cutting her out of my life. I've made lots of new friends who actually do give a flying fuck when I need support. She is no friend to you. Move on.
