the death of a friendship : (

Tweet

I have just realized that one of my friendships is well and truly dead. It has probably been dead for a while now and I am only just recognizing this. I am sad and perhaps a bit angry, about the rudeness if nothing else. I realize I have not heard from her in several weeks, the last time I contacted her was by way of text, inviting her on a night out but got no reply. This friend and I met at our workplace eight years ago. We hit it off at the start and got on great as we have many similar interests, including sense of humour. But around two years ago we started becoming much less close. I noticed it but didn't question it as I thought it was a temporary blip, but when I became pregnant I really began to notice it. Get togethers would usually be cancelled. My son is nearly 7 months old and she has been out to see him...once. Its not like she envies me for having a baby, she doesn't want any till she is in her forties. I don't think I actually did anything to upset or annoy her, I think this friend just got bored for want of a better word. And if I am honest, there were aspects to the friendship which left me feeling a bit shortchanged but I overlooked it as I like to be generous to my friends. But it is still sad that the friendship has ended and I do wish it hadn't ended so completely.
