Friend vent, because it hurts
So my friend, was my maid of honor at the wedding. We have been friends
for five years, and she is chronically ill. I stayed by her side and
took care of her whenever she needed me to. When other people dumped her because they got tired of dealing with her I was there. I was the one that she talked to about everything, and I talked to her as well.
When I am on my honeymoon she texts
me and tells me shes moving away. Her grandparents are ill and need
help, which I completely understood. She told me she would come down and visit and we would Skype, etc.. Well since then she won't talk to me. It is not a distance issue
because she is now best friends with her old best friend who lives where I do. She
has come to town several times since she moved and hasn't even bothered to tell me she was
in town. The times that she did tell me, it was to tell me that she couldn't see me because she has plans with another friend. She won't even talk to me anymore. It really hurts me because I have done so much for her in the
past and now it's like I don't even matter. I tired talking to her about it
and she told me she understood that I was upset and that I needed to get
over myself. I just don't know why the sudden change.
My sisters told me it is not unusual to lose friends after you get married. Has this happened to anyone else?
Sorry to put that out there, I just had to get it off my chest.
Re: Friend vent, because it hurts
Who knows what got into the mix?
She also sounds like she's a bit too immature for her age. That "you're not my best friend anymore" thing with her changing horses and "getting" a new best friend is what clinched it.
I don't think you can do anything about this. If you never hear from her again, too bad. She's lost out on a GOOD friend.
