I have been friends with him since I was 14, I am now 28. He is probably the closest I have to family aside a couple of close girlfriends.
Last year I broke up with my partner and had a health scare. He was a great friend to me at this time, checking in often. We also planned a trip with the rest of our friend group (we do this about once a year) although we have lived in different countries for the past year. He lives with his girlfriend and dog - I got on well with both!
Anyway we usually dont go longer than a month or 2 without talking. But I haven't heard from him once since lockdown and I feel a little hurt. Do I feel like my friends owe me something because I am single and live alone?
No, but I have definitely checked in with my friends regularly and they have done the same for me. Furthermore, he was back in the country around xmas and we planned to meet. He was really excited about then the night before told me 'so sorry I cant make it anymore' with a vague excuse. We only see each other rarely as it is.
Am I being ridiculous? Do I need to get over myself?
