A close friend of mine for almost 40 years moved far away-we used to do everything together,almost joined at the hipBirthday and Christmas card with brief note is her idea of being dear friends now . When I b ecame to handicapped with muscle atrophy and we could not longer go f for a day's outings to other towns and lunch,etc. she began to withdraw then. I did not get obsessed over that,I understood as she was very physically active.
Am I expecting too much for her to admit , at least to herself ,that she is off base in her concept of what a friend is? Like more in touch,phone call now and then, more contact without overkill?
We went through a lot together and she now has another close friend and I truely am happy for her. I just have a problem with her idea of what a true friend consititutes. I have many friends so it that's no problem. It has been 5 years now. She wanted to keep in touch and signs her few contacts with much love. Is it time to just move on our seperate ways?
