Hi. I’m struggling to get my head around how my friend treats me.

Recently I have been busy. I’ve relocated my family and life and then went on an off grid holiday.

My friend phoned me, which implies she wants to chat but just before school pickup so she knew it would be 10 minutes tops when we hadn’t spoken in a while.

Then a couple of weeks later she messages me saying she tried to phone again (I’m off grid) and wanted to know I’m ok. I reply right away saying when I’m back but she doesn’t phone me then.

I end up messaging her asking if we’re still going to get together and go camping or day trips and she says next week is wide open because holiday cancelled but need to get dates sorted with her husband.

The week passes and nothing.

I message again asking for dates.

Another week and nothing.

Now she has contacted saying that all dates are gone for the rest of summer which feels deliberate but then loads of xxxxxxxxxx at the end as if she is trying to exaggerate that she cares.

Suggests we should meet at the weekends when kids back at school but I really don’t know how I should take it.

These kinds of things play on my mind all the time. I don’t want to throw away my longest friendship but it feels like she’s messing with my head.

She phoned while you were on holiday (what does "off grid" mean?), you then messaged to say when you were back and you say she didn't phone you then. Why didnt you phone her? It see,s you have been messenging (texting?) her - why don't you just phone her?

Stop trying to analyze things and just talk to her.
