Best friend of 30 years. Had lots of issues over the last couple of years (mainly money related, leading to her putting distance between us). We've had lots of frank discussions though and tried to clear the air and although things were starting to improve, our friendship wasn't as close as it had previously been. We met up last week. She said, I'll call you in the week and we'll go out and we'll go out on your birthday too. Didn't hear from her, so I made the first move and text. She said, I'll pick you up on your birthday etc. I then got a text to say, I'll pick you up a bit earlier and btw, boyfriend is coming too (great, just what I want but I said nothing). On the morning of my birthday, she rang to say she's got a bad back and can't make it (she was out the day before and going out the day after though). So I sat in by myself on my birthday. It feels like the final straw. I've tried so hard to keep the friendship going throughout all the issues but I think I have to let go now don't I?
