I am quite prepared to accept that I am at times not in tune with other people so I am interested in what others think of this. I have been friends with a woman for over a yr and a half - we met at a coffee morning - both having babies roughly the same age. The friendship has come under strain - when her son was being aggressive and it caused some discomfort and we did not see much of one another for a while. It has never been a close friendship - me sharing more than I think she ever as and I now feel like I am convenient to be with. We met yesterday for tea and now she has emailed to say we should put a date in the diary to met up again - I'm sorry but am I missing something here - we need to put dates in the diary? A while back she I mentioned meeting the following week and she said "I don't know what I am doing on wednesday - I am better with dates not days" - err - one day merges into another for me and I normally know what day of the week it is but not the date.
I feel that we see each other just to fill the time and my already low sense of myself sinks even lower when I receive emails like this.
