Letter writer is disappointed that her friend didn’t show up for her as she went through divorce.
I am going through a divorce, and I’m having a hard time finding myself. I was with my husband for a total of 14 years. I feel lost and don’t know what to do.
I’ve lost a lot of my friends in the process. We were friends with “Frank and Christie,” and I noticed that they don’t care what I’m going through! Frank was my ex’s friend, but I got close to Christie. Last year she and I got together.We had too much to drink and my mouth wouldn’t stop. I told her that I was hurt that she didn’t contact me for my birthday, and then I told her that she never got in touch with me even though I’m going through a divorce.
Last month, we had planned to get together, but she never responded to my text. She is neglecting me. I really can’t say she’s a friend now. Three weeks after she ghosted me, she had the nerve to invite me to her son’s baby gender reveal. Part of me is telling me not to go, but part of me says to show face and act like nothing ever happened, but to not be close to her.I’ve always been there for her when she needed to talk. I was there for her when her son passed away.
Given that this woman has grieved the loss of a child, she may not have the emotional bandwidth to commiserate about your divorce. She is inviting you to a social event. I suggest that you go, because you obviously need to make and maintain new friendships; this might present an opportunity to do just that.Many of my longtime friends are now into their 80s. I moved away years ago, but we have kept the tradition of sending Christmas and birthday gifts to each other.
If your husband believes that it is necessary to send these gifts, I suggest you carry on with cards and phone calls, and if he wants to shop for and send gifts — he should go ahead and do whatever he wants. I hope you will consider planning an in-person visit. That might be the most valuable gift of all.” had concerns about her best friend’s decision to sell her house and live a nomadic life in an RV with her boyfriend.
