I became friends with my boss over a 2 year period. 8 months ago I got promoted to the same job as her but in another dept.
We continued to keep in touch over messages and phone calls.
When she managed me she explained she doesn't add her staff on facebook which I understood however as her now peer and the fact we were so close I requested her as a friend. She ignored it. No explanation.
Months passed and about a month ago she started distancing from me.
I asked her if any reason and she denied it. We kept in touch but it got less.
Then a few weeks ago the Facebook thing came up in conversation and she said she doesn't mix work with Facebook. Yet I've just seen her add staff who have left her Dept, same as I have. These are people who she wasn't close to and have not supported her as I have done.
I'm feeling quite hurt that someone who frequently calls or has done on me for support doesn't consider me in the friend bracket.
Should I be hurt ?. There is clearly a reason as to the distancing and not wanting to add me. I'm so confused as her messages up until a month ago were very friendly.
