What would you do?
A good friend of mine (really high maintenance) asked me to go to Malibu with her two Fridays ago. I told her that I would go?then I found out that it was an hour from her house. I told her that I could not go and she got mad at me. I explained to her that I would be driving about 1.5 hours to her house, 1 hour to Malibu, 1 hour back to her house, then 1.5 hours back to my house and then 2 hours to my in laws house. She said if I did not want to go then just say it but don?t make excuses.
That Sunday was her son?s birthday (I had a class at UCLA, but drove like a mad woman down Wilshire to spend some time at the party and then raced back). I got to the location early and could not find her. I called her and heard her phone ringing so I started walking towards it. I overheard her telling her husband that she was not answering it because I was not a true friend because I would not drive out to Malibu with her. I turned the corner and she was shocked. She did not talk to me much at the party and I did not stay long because I had a class to get back to. It really bothered me to hear that I am not a friend over driving. In the six years we have been friends she has only come to see me twice?I always drive to the west side.
I have not heard from her since.

Re: What would you do?
just asking because I thought it would to nice to have an outside opinion
Honestly, she really doesn't sound like a very good friend and I don't know if I would have room in my life for someone like that. You deserve better. I'd leave the ball in her court, but proceed with a lot of caution if you mantain a friendship with her.

Wow...that's really awful. To hear her commenting about not picking up her phone is just such nastiness. Beeotch.
I agree with the others. Ball is in her court. She wants to call and talk to you, that's fine. You move forward from there.... You shouldn't be made to feel bad because you can't make it to her function several hours away, that's absurd. And if she is really going to toss away a good friendship over that then obviously she's not much of a friend.
It's okay to get disappointed but c'mon...you are a girl friend- not her boyfriend or something. Girls are so petty and evil sometimes.
