I had a baby last year, and for various reasons I found it quite tough going especially with sleep etc. As a result I found it quite hard to maintain my friendship with my best friend as I was so exhausted and just found it so much easier to be around my antenatal friends instead.
Initially my BF was really supportive, and would text me all the time & tried to arrange weekly meet ups but I’ll be honest I found it too much and even replying felt like another chore on my never ending list & I found myself not replying, often for weeks at a time which I know was really rude & meet ups became few & far between especially as when we did arrange something it always seemed like my baby was ill so I had to cancel.
Anyway, I’m nearing the end of my mat leave now and baby is in a good routine etc but I’ve just sort of realised that me and my BF are really not that close anymore. We used to text every day but now it’s only to arrange a meet up & she doesn’t really suggest anything or seem overly keen. I can also see from instagram that she’s become a lot closer with another group of women which I do get & tbf ive got a new group of mum friends too but I just feel so sad about it.
Has anyone been in this situation and managed to recover their friendship back to how it was ?
