How well do you know that you're getting used again?

I have this “friend” who only texts me when she wants to stay at our place to wait for her grocery delivery. Nothing can be delivered to where she lives because it’s too far. That’s the only time we ever catch up, besides when we visit them at their place on our own free time.

She’s texting me right now. I asked if she had a grocery order coming and suddenly… silence.😏

It was probably a heads up.😐

I can understand where you are coming from. I would feel the same if keeping in touch only happened under those conditions. It's great to help others where you can, but once you notice a pattern like this its normal for it to make you feel this way.

My personal opinion, if you enjoy each others company, no harm no foul.
But, they should always confirm that you will be home first, and, it is ok they come over just incase you are in the the middle of something.

I used to have a former sister-in-law who would only call me when she needed something. Kind of sucky, IMO. BUT...she needs this tiny bit of help, doesn't she? And it won't really hurt you to allow her to get her groceries at your house.

You can just KNOW she is using you, and allow it, but you don't have to pretend to be her friend.

As long as she's pleasant, you can have a "grocery friend".. But apparently you don't like them that much 🤭
While I agree there has to be an interest of some sort to keep a friendship alive,in this case it has maxed out .It can never go beyond that grocery delivery

Nothing wrong with doing her a favour that cost you nothing. Friendship does that.

@Muthafukajones i know and we have done a lot for them, but no friends should keep in touch only when it's convenient for them or when they can benefit from it.

@GunFinger have a relative that was that way too. Always needed or something when she popped in, even if it was just snooping around for information or at lunchtime knowing I made a home cooked lunch every day and would share with her. I gave her a ride home one time when her car stalled, she was planning on meeting her husband in the city for a holiday lunch-party. Decided to go home instead and leave the car. I took her home and came in and sat down for a few minutes, basically got the bum’s rush, left. And made up my mind that was the end of letting her come around only when she needed something.

There must be a compromise here. Perhaps one involving extra treats ordered from the store. 🍷 🧁
