I need a reality check as suspect I'm being unreasonable but wanted to step out of my head and get some other opinions on it.
My closest friend is emigrating to Australia next week with no plans to move back in the next few years at a minimum. I'm going to really miss her - we talk online most days and usually see each other at least once or twice a week. The online chat is good, but never replaces face to face things. She said once that I'm her closest confidante and she's mine.
She's stressed about the move and really busy and quite disorganized. I'm really trying to be there and not let on how much I'm gutted that she's leaving (last time we talked about her going properly she got upset and cried), and last week she told me that we was feeling really stressed about managing to spend time with all of the people who want to see her after an intense week with a couple of other friends and I don't want to add to her burdens by acting like I'm entitled to her time.
BUT - I haven't seen her since before Xmas. She still messages often, and every week or so I've been saying 'no pressure because I know you're busy but I'm still keen to see you sometime' and she replies with some variation of 'I'll let you know', but still nothing, no suggestions to hang out, nothing.
Because she's leaving next week, I'd also kept myself available on purpose as really do want to see her but don't have any plans locked in yet at all.
I feel really sad about it and starting to wonder if we are even as close as I thought we were. I've had friends move before like that but I've always managed to see them properly in the couple of weeks before they go.
AIBU?
