I have a friend that I haven't 'seen' in over a year. I've spoken with her a few times on the phone, but that's pretty much it. She's a busy woman that is looking for work, takes care of the household while her husband finishes school, cares for her teen daughter and pre teen step son. My issue is that I"M the one that has always done the contact calls or emails. I know she's busy and has a lot on her mind and plate, but should I stop trying to contact her? I call and leave messages on her cell phone and or home phone and she hasn't returned my calls.
Have I been ditched? Should I admit that i'm the friend that's avoided? Is our friendship over? :o(

Some people are like that, I have friends who never visit, never ring and yet when I don't vist them or ring them they tell me off, I think some people just get caught up in their own life they don't take time to connect but will connect when friends come to them.

There are many reasons that she isn't calling you, but its still hard to understand. Most people are very busy now; however, I believe a true friend makes time to return a telephone call. I certainly return calls, as my friends are important and their time is valuable.
My mother use to tell me that if I show up late, then I'm telling my friend that her time isn't very important. I believe its important to show your friend that you value her or his friendship.
My suggestion stop calling her and if she cares about you, then she will call back. If she doesn't then move on and make a new friend. Life is to short to keep calling her over and over again.
