What to do, what to do? I have a friend, whom I have known for over 10 years, who is a fb friend. Throughout our friendship she has been a bit, well, flighty. By that she means she would sometimes forget we had a date planned or she would reschedule at the last minute. Whenever our lives were in the same place (single or SAHM) we would seem to get together more often and just connect more, in general. Then when life circumstances changed for one or the other of us we would lose touch. I would try to get together, make several phone calls to catch up but it seemed as if she was busy with other friends. In fact, as soon as I started working last year I tried to make a play date arrangement but she was never available.
The thing is, that just when I would think, "That's it, I am just going to forget about her and move on and stop trying," she calls me or invites me to something, etc. However, I think this time really is it. I almost feel like I did something to offend her or something but I see her too seldom to do that.
Here is the thing. Or things. We have mutual friends. It is very complicated to explain but, while we used to all see each other at the same time, we don't really anymore. But still, the relationship is there. Also, I really liked this person. Even when she was being flaky. I liked her personality, her sense of humor, her husband, her realness. We like a lot of the same things. I guess I just can't let go. At this point, we only keep in touch via facebook. We comment on each other's status updates and pictures sometimes. I think I am just wondering now if that is enough. I get kind of sad when I see that she is doing stuff with other people or when I see how fast her kids are growing up.
What do you do when your friendships end, but there is still a little thread hanging on?
