friends not the series

[Dinkiedoo]

My friend had a horrendous break up with her ex. Texted me loads. Was always there for her. Had her round went to hers. Went to lunch etc . Conversation always a bit one sided but it was tough going for her.
Now things are relatively ok hardly hear a peep. Excuses made to drop plans. Shes getting on with her life and I'm glad.
It just seems like this happens to me a lot. People turn to me with their problems and once they ok I'm "dumped"
I still have a couple of good friends but you know what I won't be making any more. Some people are just shit !

Op, you are making yourself too available for people and they treat you badly. Next time she is reaching out make sure you have plans.

That's how friendship works though isn't it?

I speak to or see most of my friends once a month or so. My best friend has recently been going through a horrible divorce, so I've seen a lot more of her. Pub once a week, a few phone calls, frequent whatsapping. She needs support. I'm there to offer it.

Life's getting back to normal for her now, so contacts dropping back to its normal level.

At some point though, one or the other of us is going to need the others support again, and so we will step up again.
