I have a friend who used to be my bestest friend ever - we were really close, almost to the exclusion of other friends really. These days we are really different, and the friendship has waned, and is mainly based on nostalgia - a bit depressing really. Anyway, it seems more like a duty these days sometimes. She must feel the same, as she will gush about missing me, or wanting to meet up, but then seems to find reasons why she cannot come nearer the time. She IS flaky, and has never been 100% reliable, but it does seem to be getting worse. My main AIBU really, is that I have bitten my tongue several times over the last few months when I feel that her behaviour has been rude, whether this is not bothering to text back, or not bothering to tell me that she is going to cancel an arrangement (I HATE it when I phone someone to confirm only to be told that the other person is cancelling - why aren't they phoning me then?)
I have started feeling annoyed for AGES after the latest of these things, as I never say anything. I really want to say that I have found her rude recently, but assume there is no going back after this. My annoyance is festering though, because I haven't got it out.
Another 'my friend's crap' thread really! Advice please?
