At what point do you give up on friends ? Especially when it’s ones you’ve known for a long time but it’s always you making plans to meet up and you contacting them.
I give my friends a lot of leeway as they have husbands and kids and I don’t have room to put them up if they come to town. In the past I’ve jumped on trains to go to theirs for the day but there seems to be a force field around London that stops them from visiting once they’ve left ???
It’s at the point now where it’s grating and if I’m honest upsetting. Especially when I see social media posts of them actually breaking through the London force field and visiting other friends but not making plans with me.
Part of me wants to be hard hearted and to say to hell with them but then the realistic side of me says if I do this I won’t have many friends left.
Each major landmark birthday I’ve celebrated I’ve culled the list of people who don’t give the same damn about me or didn’t make as much effort with me and cut contact with them but as I get older it’s harder to make new friends and strike up new friendships.
Anyone got any advice ?
Thanks
