find the exit, your life is better without her.

Well, you really need to understand why before you can do anything (including feeling better).

my advice would be to find out why she has blown you off then resolve the matter its that simple man.

You have no idea at all? That is weird but it happens. Maybe something is going on with her. She could be in a new relationship, she might feel guilty about something, maybe she is upset about something but is not ready to talk about it. It is really hard to deal with people who will not communicate. Either way, assuming you have tried and tried to contact her, but you cannot get ahold of her, I would suggest spending some time doing the things that make you happy. Find yourself again, and when you are happy, you will become a magnet that draws other people in. Embrace all the new people you meet. As Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young sang, "Love the one your with". She might come around, just give her time. Don't beat yourself up in the process though.

Sometimes friendships go that way. No biggy. Just because it's an old friendship doesn't mean that it has to last. She's probably doing her own thing, you should too.

Well, let me tell you that sometimes people just need to be alone. I had to kind of take time from a few of my friends before and it became permanent. I just needed time to myself.

Can I take a stab in the dark here? Your screen name is Missy Becoming A Mama Again. Having another baby? Is she jealous by chance? Maybe even hurt? Does she not have kids and does she want kids? Does she have some but yearns for another? That might be your answer. If her friendship is that important to you, send her a card and a letter telling her how much she means to you and how important she is, and that if there's anything you've done, you'd like to know and make amends so you can have that close relationship again.

That sucks. This has happened to me before, too. People are quite strange sometimes but I guess the best thing you can do for yourself is to just accept it and try to forget about her...Good luck.

M, Your question is...What can you say to make me feel better? I can say, you are a wonderful friend. I am glad to have you in my life. I thank my husband frequently for being friends with your husband. If it weren't for them we would never have known each other. I cannot imagine you doing something so drastic to your old friend that she would not want your friendship anymore. She is either crazy or wrapped up in her own life. I have an old friend in Lewiston that I rarely talk to. It's not because anything is wrong, it's just we're both busy in our own lives. I also have an old lifelong friend I grew up with in Cali. She & I have kept in touch over the many years we have been away from each other. Many times we have lost contact, once for a couple years. We ALWAYS seem to find each other and when we do it's like we never lost touch. You are a good person. I love being your friend. I wouldn't want it any other way. Your a kind and caring person with lots to offer to a friendship. Your a good listener and also a good conversationalist. What it boils down to is...don't fret on her too much. When the time is right for her, you will be reunited. In the meantime...enjoy life. And know you are loved by your friends. How's that for making you feel better...lol. Your Friend, Lynette

It could be a lot of reasons that she does not wanna be bothered, what is she doing for you ? I would let her go, friends come and go. Remember this you are the one that is taking care of you it it best not to let nothing worry you.

i'm really sorry to hear that. i've had many people that i once considered friends turn and walk away from me - especially when i became depressed. it seemed like everyone was bailing out on me and i started to resent them for it. oh yes it hurts but it happens, even to the best of us. i'm not going to lie, friends are a great thing to have, and you should savor every moment of it, but you cannot rely solely on them for your happiness; you're setting yourself up for failure if you do. as blunt as it may sound, people will let you down, whether they want to or not. sometimes these things are really hard to understand - hell, you may not understand it at all. like yourself, i've had close friends, and even family, straight up ditch me for no reason whatsoever - none. i tried talking to them, pleading them, only to get shut out. i'd be left in the cold. so, i feel for you and again, i'm sorry. perhaps there's another "old" friend you could turn to?
