A friend of mine that I’ve had since high school has become distant (replying in a few words or not at all) and rude (never ever asking me a single question about how I’ve been, even just polite ‘how are you’ during conversation). Not sure I can be bothered making the effort anymore.
We used to be in continuous contact and had a great friendship but I was always slightly tomboyish and never concerned with dating until meeting my current boyfriend. When I first started dating my partner she was in a relationship that had lasted 2 years, but they broke up due to arguing. Since they have broken up my friend is continuously rude and dismissive to me, she gives me bad relationship advice so I no longer bother asking and she will ignore me for days if not weeks.
I brought up my issues with her 6 months ago and she never replied until I bothered asking a few weeks ago how she was and she just replied ‘I’m fine, you?’.
My partner and I have been living together for 4 years now and we get along pretty well and have a good relationship, over the past few years I have put more effort into my life and I feel that my friend must have only liked me when I was more depressed, single and not accomplishing anything.
What do you think happened with her? Am I right that she only liked me when I felt somehow inferior to her, is she jealous, or could it be depression?
