"Friend" vent - thanks FB!
So my oldest friend (friends for 20 yrs) got engaged last week. I kind of wish I didn't check FB on my downtime, but not sure if I would have known any other way. I find out on FB because I'm friends with his woman on there. I text him right away and he was like sorry, she's just that fast, I asked like 2 seconds ago...
I was able to not dwell on it during vacation, but now it's kind of bugging me. I mean, we've been friends 20 yrs, I'm the only one of his friends who gave a gift for his baby shower, who wished him a happy birthday and I get treated like an acquaintance. Oh, and also, I didn't find out they had the baby until a thank you note w/a baby pic in it a month after it happened. And I didn't know about the baby thing except for FB.
Wow, now after getting that out, I realize exactly the advice I've been giving others. It's really a slap in the face to finally realize I have no real friends anymore.
Re: "Friend" vent - thanks FB!
It sucks to feel like close friends have pulled away, but all relationships ebb and flow. This may just be a temporary thing. Just try to be there for him when he needs it and keep reaching out every now and then so you guys can still connect sometimes.
My BFF from third grade and I have a pretty big fight a few years ago and it took us a year to even talk to each other again. But there was a bond there that neither of us really wanted to let go, so we started building our friendship again. It took some time and there were some bumps, but we're doing really well now.
Also, I feel like I'm in the middle of it with my other BFF. There was a huge misunderstanding last year and things have just been going back and forth with her. I am just riding it out to see what happens, but I am hoping things come around like it did with my other friend.
Long post I know, but I just want to emphasize that I understand!
Do you measure the value/depth of your friendship by how soon someone shares info with you? It sounds like your friend is just not the type to share news quickly and that you aren't in contact very often. That sucks but it doesn't mean he's not your friend. I can understand feeling hurt but it sounds like you may be overreacting a little. Are you going to end the friendship or talk to him about it?
