My closest friend has been acting extremely inconsiderately lately, and it's been bumming me out. However, earlier this week, she contacted me via e-mail to see if I'd be in town this weekend to spend some time together. I was very glad and anxious to see her, and called her the next day to say that I'd make a special trip down to see her if she'd just let me know when she would be free...and then I didn't hear back from her. For five days. So I broke down and sent her a text, and she replied saying she'd been "very busy" and forgot to get back to me. Now, I was a little irked. She has done this a lot recently, but I actually do value our friendship and want to see her...So I went ahead and told her I would be in town Saturday, and we agreed to meet up. It took me 2 buses and a LOT of time, but I made it to town...I didn't hear from her all day. I called, and she told me she was busy with dinner and would call back in 10 minutes. Nearly an hour went by before she called, and by that time, I had given up on the evening and didn't take her call. I am quite angry with her because I feel her behavior has been very disrespectful lately (it's all the more painful because she never used to do this), and I want to know why she is acting this way. But I'm hesitant to do anything that might cause conflict, because I really do appreciate our friendship...it would be such a shame to let seven years of friendship disintegrate. It hurts to question what used to be the strongest friendship I had. I'm very sad, and I just don't know what to do.
