I'm in the process of moving house and without going into all the usual stressors and having to organise leave from work and care for my children so that I can get packed and sorted, basically I have a good friend who I've known for over 10 years now, who has told me she will help on at least a few occasions, but when I have reached out, she's gone off the radar. All I want is help to pack up books, kitchen stuff etc., not even lifting or lugging furniture, but again, every time I leave her a message, telling her I'm super stressed out and haven't got much done, she leaves me on read and then contacts me either hours later after the event, or the following day, middle of the night, and doesn't even mention it!
I'm not moving far, I'm in Ealing and it's a 10 minute drive to the new place, but it's still a lot of stuff to pack and move!
She's going through a difficult time, hey who isn't.... but isn't working and seems to think it's fine to send me invitations to stuff that is actually taking place on the very days I've told her I have someone taking scrap away and have to be there, or a charity is coming for a donation, or I just need to crack on. It literally is as if she hasn't heard me. Or maybe she is being intentionally evasive because she doesn't want to actually help. Then I think why did you even say it?
Am I being unreasonable to be upset? I just find it very odd behaviour.
