Am I better off without my best friend?
6 Answers
My best friend has blocked me from her email and won't return my calls. She says I'm never there for her. Perhaps I haven't been there for her as I used to, but I don't think I deserve this kind of treatment. I got married six months ago and have a young child. When I'm not working, I'm going to my child's endless activities and my new husband and I are trying to adjust to the changing tides of marriage. I feel like I never have time for myself, and feel stressed that she would make me feel guilty for not 'giving enough'. I thought a friendship was supposed to be unconditional, not another marriage or obligation.

Did she talk to you about how she was feeling before blocking you?
If you really want to save this friendship, then go round and see her, tell hr exactl what you've just told us and come to a compromise? Maybe you can agree to making a point of calling one another on evening every week for a catch up and then spend an evening with one another every other week?
Not only would this help her adjust to your new routine, but it would help you give you some breathing space and feel less stressed too.

I've had my share of my life taking over and friends feeling they have been left behind. But it's usually because they don't understand how you feel. I agree with above, write a little letter to explain, chances are that she feels just as bad and will appreciate you making the move!
My best friend moved back to Ireland and I would say that distance hasn't hindered our friendship either, we are always there for one another, but we don't live in each others pockets!
Life does have a habit of getting in the way, but that�s life! If you explain your difficulties and she still ignored you, then leave it go!
