Is this rude or am I being insensitive?
28 Answers
I'll condense this bit: A year ago I befriended a woman online who's daughter died 2 years ago,she was being harassed and bullied by a gang of women on a website she went on,2 invited themselves to the funeral and then reported back to the rest of the gang who from the day of the funeral hounded her saying the most vile things ever.Naturally I was outraged at this and offered her support and we became "cyber friends". We exchanged Xmas presents,and at the beginning of the week it was her birthday so I sent her a Moonpig card (it came a day late) and a cream tea by post.She wasn't in when the postie bought it and seems uninterested in picking it up.I hinted at the fact it would go off,but she still didn't .The thing that is bugging me,she didn't thank me for the card or present,and when I asked if she like the card she said "I got your card if that's what you mean". Am I asking too much expecting a thank you or a bit of enthusiasm?

Elsie & I have met two ABer's(seperately) in person.
In fact they came to our house for a very nice tea.
After which,nothing,nada,zilch.
I expect nothing now from such friends,either in person or cyber ones.
Just let her go her own way,and don't let her hurt you.
Sadly there will always be givers and takers in life.
You are a very nice and considerate giver.
She is a rude and incosiderate taker.
Takers will bleed you dry (emotionally) if allowed.
Don't allow her to.
