stale friendship

My friend and I have lost interest in each other,its mutual.
We have been so busy with husbandsd/kids/moving that we have missed out on being there for eachother and resentment has set in.
Every meet-up/phone call is littered with little digs and put downs,its a chore to talk.

Can anything be done,
its gotten to the stage where if nothing changes Im going to stop contacting her.
Only hear her news on fb these days.

I just hate the thoughts of loosing a friend,
they are so hard to find

interesting one.
Who is doing the digs and put downs?
Are you normally supportive and communicative with each other? If so, then you could suggest talking things through and both having chance to air problems and resolving them. OR just leave it for a while and let things naturally evolve into whatever it will be.
Some friendships just aren't meant to be forever and some are, and IME it is quite hard to force it either way, what will be will be. But if it is making you sad then I'd suggest talking it through.

I agree tell her how you feel. this happened with my friend just over a year ago (allsorts of things going on) i called her up and just said "look i dont like how things are between us right now i feel like ..." and she said what was bugging her and we both agreed that we wanted to save our friendship and make a better effort with each other and it worked! i think the fact that i got how i was feeling off my chest was a huge relief and the way i looked at was well if i dont tell her how im feeling we are going to fall out anyway so theres nothing to lose!. hope you get it sorted.
