A 'friend' of mine seems to always get upset at me for not hearing from me every week. ^

It's a bad habit of mine, but I honestly cannot for the life of me contact someone when there's nothing to talk about. Don't get me wrong, I will drop the odd message or two every few months to see if she's okay, but other than that, I don't see the need to always be on call.
Truthfully, I do value our friendship, but she gets frustrated if I tell her I've been busy. If it's been longer than 3 weeks, she'll message to check up on me and then ignore my response asking if she's been okay, too.
Let me point out here as well, her partner and my husband are close friends, which is how we met. Otherwise, I don't think we'd ever be friends.
She's starting to really piss me off. I tried conversing with her one day and was really goofy and she left me on 'read'. If I can't be myself, I don't see the point.
AIBU? If so, what should I do to better the relationship? If not, how do I make her understand, when a grown woman her age with 4 kids can't comprehend that life does get hectic sometimes.
