Known friend for 3 years. Our daughters go the same school but different years, so we don’t stand together but she has to pass me to get to her daughters classroom. Some days she says hi, other days she puts head down and passes, this continued and started to be more regular.
We had such a great friendship I thought it was odd to suddenly be a little off and it started to upset me the more it happened. Yes I stand with others but I ALWAYS make the time to say hello.
After a few weeks I thought enough is enough, I’m tired of feeling upset, I’m concentrating on other friendships and going to pretend I haven’t seen her either. Suddenly she’s interested again, messaging me at home, saying hi and hugging me, shouting hello if she see’s me, arranging to meet.....
Now suddenly she’s gone quiet again, said she would text me last week and nothing. She doesn’t seem to have many friendships, I’m just sick of the back and forth, I have feelings and it hurts and I genuinely thought she was a true friend.
Usually I would just move on but it’s hard when you have to see them a lot.
Just to add, all the above was before the coronavirus, but it’s the lack of contact lately that’s really bothering me again.
I’m in my forties and feel silly being so upset but our daughters also have a lovely bond and don’t know what to do?
