To stop contacting this friend

[GreyWalls7]

Quick background- been friends with this woman for a number of years, used to be really close at one stage but not so much in recent years. Meet up regularly to catch up and always get on well when we do. More recently, friend has stopped replying to WhatsApp messages, I can see she's online often through the day but not opening or reading my messages for up to a month or two, sometimes only if I send another message. I mentioned this recently and she claimed that it was the other way around (even though I can clearly see from the chat history that this isn't the case). Latest is that I sent a message about catching up which is still unread.

WIBU to just assume she isn't interested and not persue anymore, even though I will miss the occasions we did catch up? Feel as though the friendship is now one sided and no longer worth the effort or hurt.

Once I actually offered to book time off (work eves some weeks) if that would be easier for us to meet than all the cancelled/ghosted day plans and said how much I would love to see her. We had lots of chat about plans then nothing and doesn't return my calls.

The irony was about 2 months before that, when she wasn't there for me with a bereavement and bailed on childcare she said she felt so guilty afterwards and offered to do lots of things that never seemed to materialise into concrete plans either.

I wish her all the best and will miss her! But I wouldn't let a man treat me this way.

We wouldn't encourage our kids to leave other children out or ignore them, we should definitely lead by example.
