have a very close friend, have known her for many years. She is a few years older than me & a bit like an older sister (neither of us have sisters in fact). We are very close, she knows a lot of things about me that no-one else does. She has spent hours on the phone with me when I have had my heart broken & am a sobbing mess, has always been great with my DC etc.
However, I am, and always have been a little scared of her, and scared of pissing her off (she takes offence at certain things, like me not phoning her, quite easily...certainly much more readily than I would)
so, up til a few months ago, we used to speak every day. Then she went on holiday, then I was away (& whilst away had my phone stolen so couldnt call anyone much, as I only had DS's PAYG phone until my contract replacement came through, which for various reasons took weeks), so we didnt speak for a long time. When I got my phone back, I called her & left her a voicemail letting her know & said I would call. However I got totally caught up with other stuff and forgot
for the last 2 weeks since then i have been intending to phone her but keep putting it off cos i know she is going to bollock me for not calling her sooner. Yes I know she could call me, but she won't see it like that! anyway, at the weekend she messaged a mutual friend on facebook something about the importance of maintaining contact etc, which I feel may have been a dig at me
I do know I've been a bit crap, I should have phoned her before now, but the fear of being told off is now delaying me.....please tell me I'm being pathetic & should just call her tomorrow!
