To sulk or not to sulk that is the question

Changed my name as other person is an occasional mumsnetter.

Feel neglected by a good friend of mine. Normally we phone / email every other day and see each other once or twice per week. But she has only phoned me once since I returned from hols 11 days ago (and no emails). Also, my children are currently poorly and I've been stuck at home with them in splendid isolation - since dh is away all week on business. You would think she would phone to try and keep my spirits up?

I expect on reading this you want to shake me and think this is trivial - and perhaps I am blowing this up out of proportion...but I feel 'unloved'. I suspect that my friend is one of those people who has friend 'fads'...

On the other hand her dd has just started pre-school this week so I suppose she could be preoccupied.

Go on shake me to my senses if you like

I suppose I am more sensitive because another friend has cooled off. I must be rather 'unlovely'

Why don't you just ring her and ask why she's not been in touch - if there's anything wrong or whatever? Maybe she's been ill or something?

Pride Listmaker! (my downfall)

Yes, I should really. I think I will send her an email rather than phone her just asking how her dd got on at Pre-School this week, and then see if I get an enthusiastic and chatty response...

Well if you've done nothing to upset her then it can't be that she's annoyed with you. Just send her a chatty e-mail saying you missed her e-mails and calls and that it's not like her and ask if she's OK. You don't want to seem too desperate or something! Maybe she's wondering why you haven't been in touch?
