Losing good friends
Hi I’m 47 and single.
Im feeling quite despondent as I’ve recently lost 2 good friends.
The first one was a guy I’ve been friends with for over 15 years. Last time I heard from him was a few years ago - he told me he was going through a difficult time and would call me but the call never came. I’ve recently found out he’s got into trouble at work (he’s a nurse) and has been investigated for criminal activity at work. Im assuming that’s why he’s went awol. I’ve messaged him a few times recently but he never replies.
The other is a girl I’ve been friends with for about 15 years also. We were great friends when I lived in London and although I haven’t seen her for years (I live back in Scotland now) we always kept in touch via WhatsApp and always sent each other birthday and Xmas cards etc. I recently had a baby and I now haven’t heard from her since my third trimester which was 6 months ago 🥲. She didn’t even send me a congratulations card- something I would have definitely done if the roles were reversed.
I dO have new friends but it’s hard to accept that my dearest old friends are no longer interested in me.
Can anyone relate?
