Why do I feel bad? 😔

Yes

Maybe??

Over the past months, one of my closest friends started distancing herself from our group. Little by little we could tell that she was drifting away from us. And later I learned that she has a new friend group, which is fine, I didn’t take it as there being anything wrong with that. But as time went on, she ignored us completely… And we’ve supported her through some of the most difficult and painful moments in her life… I don’t think I did anything wrong, then why do I feel so guilty??

My question is, is it worth fighting for a friendship that you feel is lost? 🙁

I have a friend of over 40 yrs ghost me. I was the maid of honor at her wedding. We were that close. People do change.

@Livingwell That’s awful ! A misunderstanding ? That’s a long time.
(you were maid of honor ?)

@bijouxbroussard Yes... Maid of Honor. Lol!
She let life and people take over her life and doesn't know how to say no. After 7 yrs, we had lunch recently. She apologized. Silent again.

@Livingwell But you’re a man ?

@bijouxbroussard Yes. But I was her best friend so she asked me to do it. So I arranged for decorations, getting bridesmaid dresses, etc. Even chaperoned the bachelorette party.

@Livingwell Okay. I understand now. When one of my closest friends married his partner of several years, I was his "Best Maid". ☺️
