I have a friend who I really like and we used to be very close. She was the sort of friend to just turn up whenever she liked a couple of nights a week and I loved that. We had a fun, easy going relationship, where we could also have deep interesting conversations about life. Then she got a boyfriend and was never available. We finally arranged to meet up and she tried to invite her boyfriend along. They live separately and seemingly very independent lives but she wants to spend every possible moment with him at the weekends and therefore will slot me in around his activities. He's playing tennis 2-4, then this is the time slot we can meet.
This has been going on for almost two years. Last year I was rejected so many times when suggesting to meet up that I just stopped inviting her. She invited me for coffee once this year, then I invited her out again a month later when a friend with a similar niche hobby to her who I wanted to introduce her to was in town and 'she didn't know what her plans were for the weekend yet' and then never got back to me.
Now she has texted saying 'let's make an effort to meet up in the New Year'.
AIBU to find this comment very annoying? I have made so much effort she's making it out as if we both haven't.
