Do you think I'm stupid, what should I do??  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 89/100. Jemmifire (3407) 4 years ago

So I have a "friend" We used to hang out ALL the time, like 3 or more times a week, then I got pregnant, we still hung out, then I had my baby and she was the first visitor to come, then I moved only like 15 minutes further away from her (she lived up the road) and things became rocky. We never had a fall out or anything, or argued, but she just kind of stopped calling and wanting to hang out.

I'd ask her why and she always had an excuse about being sick or really tired or over worked or something.

I let her have her space and then mentioned it again asking if there was something wrong between us and she said no, and the same excuses.

So then I had my 2nd baby and she didn't come visit me even though she would tell me online (very rarely) that she wanted to be the 1st visitor again.

When I got home from the hospital I finally got ahold of her and I guess she had started a new job 2 days prior to me having my son and she couldn't make it because it was a conflict in work hours.

Ok..

So then like a month ago she writes on her blog that people never call her and it's a one way thing bla bla bla, well I commented saying I do call and stuff, and she said it wasn't aimed at me. Ok I'll believe that.

So to be a better friend I started calling her like 3 times a week, but she never answers, I leave messages on her cell and she never calls back. She told me in my blog that she was laid off for 6 weeks and she'd be free to come over, but she hasn't bothered answering any of my calls or shown any interest in coming over.

So I guess my question is, should I just stop with the effort of this friendship?? I'm really sad because I love her so much as a friend and it upsets me to think that she may be purposely avoiding me.

your not stupid. but yea i would just stop. its sad when the best of friends fall apart. but you know its life and soemtimes when you have kids as you know friends come and go. i gave up on alot of my friends too after having my first. they are only interested in drinking. they sometimes ask me if i want to go drinking but if its not money its time. who has either with 2 kids.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Jemmifire (3407)  4 years ago

Well when we hung out it wasn't about drinking, we just goofed off, watched movies, did stupid make up and took pictures. Occasionally we went out. We often hung out at her moms too and her mom LOVES babies... so I dunno I'm just so thrown off to why it's ended.

Anyway speaking of drinking, Club hell is having a party monster theme this Wensday I kind of want to go, but I dunno..


myLot reputation of 96/100. Withoutwings (4690)  4 years ago

I feel sad for you. I know you would have sincerely wanted to have continued friendship you enjoyed but sometimes it is better to let things pass, friends off the hook leave them, let them go their ways, you just can't hold on to them against their wishes. Everybody moves on in life and you would also be able to move on and find new friends who are more caring, understand you better, care for you more, love you more and are there for you always. Please don't feel upset as time heals everything and have faith in god and in yourself things will get better believe me. if you wish i can be that friend, add me to your buddy list and please do cheer up, i can't bear to see you unhappy and i am being honest when i say that.

My best friend decided she didn't really want to be friends with me after I had kids. She moved away and got mixed up with the wrong crowd and just parties all the time. She is also working in the strip clubs and I tried to help her, but she quit wanting help so I decided it was not the best influence on me and my children. I know it hurts but kids really do change how friendships are viewed.

Jemmifire, It is just a sad reality of life that friends come and go in our lives. We don't always keep the same ones for ever. Some times it happens that you can find one another again.But, it may be that you will just have to be glad for the good times you shared and then move on to someone else to share new experiences with.

no dearie u aint stupid... ur pal seems to be like someone who aint having much confidence in herself or seems to be someone who has some sort of complex... such ppl can never be good pals... they always think tht the whole world is against them!!!
welll u did ur part eh? u tried to keep contact and she aint interested... so i guess ur last step is to send her a msg to her mail or her blogspace and include all ur feelings in it and tell her tht its ur last effort in extending a hand of friend ship... if she doesnt take it, then stop going aftr her.... she doesnt deserve a pal like u then... ok?

myLot reputation of 94/100. scooter1024 (762)  4 years ago

I have to agree with you. Let her know how you feel and tell her your not tryin anymore. Leave the door open for her to come back later and talk and possibly be friends again though. She once was a good friend and she may realize what she has lost in you and want you back as a friend. Who knows she may feel whatever is bothering her is finally worth letting you in on. Good luck.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Jemmifire (3407)  4 years ago

Thank you, good idea.

I agree with sooter. I have done that in the past and it worked. If it didn't, well, it only means that you have to let her go.
