AIBU to be hurt that my bf hasn't visited my new house

We've been friends for over 30 years, both have DC. We've always lived within walking distance of each other and more recently see each other about once a fortnight.
I moved to a village a mile of so out of town a month ago and my bf has yet to visit despite an invitation the weekend we moved in, which became an open invitation when they didn't make it.
In her defence she'd have to get a bus (unless it's the weekend as she doesn't drive) it's the school holidays (kids are 6+) she's had the odd break of 3/4 days and they're having work done on their house but...
I feel hurt that she hasn't made effort. We lived in our old place for 15 years and had been on the market for 12 months - she knew this was a huge deal for us. I know if the shoe was on the other foot you couldn't keep me away

If you drive offer to pick her up and take her there for a visit. It does sound like she has a lot going on.

Not driving can be isolating.

She's jealous.

Ahh best friend.

It’s only been a month, and a month during the summer holidays so yes yabu.

Can you arrange to pick her up and go for a coffee then back for a grand tour or something?

If you have just moved, she might be waiting for the school term to start so she can go without the kids?

One of my closest friends moved away over two years ago, I’ve seen her lots in that time but only the other day did I go and see her new house.
I simply have not had the time or headspace to visit her new house, I have had loads going on including my youngest child being diagnosed with a lifelong condition that has changed our lives beyond recognition over the past 3/4 years.
I’m pretty sure op that it is nothing against you personally, perhaps offer to go and pick her up and take her back to yours for lunch?
She’ll come eventually, she just has a lot going on. I’m sure she’ll come along, bouquet in hand like I did, soon enough Flowers

Why not ask her if she wants to.visit for an hour or two for coffee and say you will.drive her and drop her back home...if she has kids and has to take buses and has other stuff going on then it's not as easy for her as you are assuming...so if you want her to visit make it easy for her and offer her a lift...
