So Disappointed
28 Answers
I could scream! I was supposed to meet an old friend for lunch today, not seen her for a while so I was really looking forward to it, but she's rung up and cancelled because she's got a bad headache, not the first time she's cancelled a meeting at short notice. I got up earlier than usual to take my dog for his walk before I went out and it was all a waste of time and now I have the whole day stretching ahead of me. I feel really down and she didn't suggest an alternative either. Maybe time to end the friendship?

Or next time nip round with 2 ibuprofen the night before and monitor the situation.

I had a friend in a similar situation but I was the one who didn't want to meet her at the last minute. Back-story.....she was very critical of me and used to mock me in front of others. She never liked the way I did things and she was never willing to meet any of my other friends but I was always expected to mix with her other friends. She was basically a bully. We had a massive argument over going to another friends birthday meal and I couldn't take anymore of her behaviour so I didn't go to the meal. This was over 12 years ago and I haven't spoken to her since.
I decided a few years ago I wasn’t going to put up with ‘friends’ whose company I really didn’t enjoy, and always came home wondering why I’d bothered.
So I stopped.
I have a much smaller circle of friends now, much smaller, but it was such a relief to get rid of those whose company wasn’t worth the effort. Maybe they felt the same about me but I don’t care, I don’t have enough years left in my life to waste it on those who just became a habit.
