Hi all I started a post the other day, got completely sidetracked and thought I'd got it as a draft to find it had actually posted...thanks for all the suggestions to Ba very interesting.. .so to carry on...
Back story is I have a friend that I supported unconditionally when her husband was seriously ill and subsequently died just before first lockdown.
The only family is an estranged daughter.
Last year my husband became seriously ill (recovered now) and I felt our friendship struggled a bit but I thought we were back on track.
In early December we went to watch her in a play, she's into amateur dramatics. Half way through I became ill and needed to leave. I told her this at the interval and she wasn't happy as she wanted a lift home. This had not been prearranged and wouldn't have made any difference if it had.
Since that night, she never asked after if I was ok, calls from her have completely stopped. Trying to make arrangements to visit her have been like pulling teeth. The last time I was there she didn't seem interested in speaking to me only my husband.
If I text her and she responds I get at best clipped answers and claims not to have heard the phone if I ring. I've asked outright if she's upset about that night and she blanked me and started talking about something else. There has been no contact now on either side for the past 3 weeks, although I know she's ok as she's posting on social media.
I feel the friendship is 'dying' over something I see as quite trivial.
Am I missing something?
