Old Friend. Or So I Thought.

[Lindylou]

Have just learnt that person/s I thought were friends have recently visited / returned to the UK from New Zealand after moving there over 5 years ago. Unfortunately I wasn't told about their return. So I haven't been able to see them. I considered them to be close friends. Now they are leaving to return to their new(ish) domicile. Very upset that I wasn't considered important enough for them to let me know they'd be returning to the UK for 6 weeks. I would have liked to have seen them but I think I should now cross them off my Xmas card / birthday card list etc and unfriend them on Facebook. Am I being unreasonable?

have to say i agree with JTH. I have friends who have variously lived in mozambique and sierra leone and germany. Last time she came back for a flying visit from sierra leone she only informed the people she had time to see, to avoid disappointing others
