I’ve known a friend for years but I think it’s time to back away. Feeling sad.
It’s rubbish when you realise that you’re not as important to them as they are to you isn’t it.
Friend over commits and is often a bit unreliable. Final straw is that we’d had a date in the calendar for months, to go away for a few days. Friend can’t do it now, for reasons that I understand, but I was disappointed.
Just found out that she’s just made plans to go away with another friend, just a few days after we were supposed to.
I (unusually) told that I was disappointed it hasn’t occurred to her to rearrange something with me, given we’d had this long standing plan, and she was genuinely surprised and got a bit defensive.
If I had to let someone down, but had the opportunity to rebook it for a few days later, that’s what I’d do.
The sad fact is that it just didn’t occur to her. That makes me feel great (not)!
I think I need reframe her as an acquaintance.
No point to the thread really. Just wanted to get it off my chest.
