Needy Ex-friend
I'm just seeking validation that I'm not being unreasonable for ending a friendship. My (ex)friend lives on the west coast and I on the east. We have a 3 hr time zone difference. Not to mention she works night shifts and I work a regular 8am to 4pm job. For this reason, we communicate a lot via texting. Just based off our recent (and final) text conversation, I get the feeling that she sees me as a bad boyfriend (even though I'm a married heterosexual female) and she's playing herself off as a neglected attention seeking girlfriend. I don't what is wrong with her. I honestly think she is not mentally or emotionally stable. The kicker is when she says she puts so much effort into our friendship and that she feels I don't have time for her....well when I flew to the west coast in Oct, it was to visit my parents and her (they live in the same city). I took her out to a show and dinner and also went to lunch with her and her mom, and we also went to lunch and shopping another afternoon. Next 2 flights in Dec and Jan were because I found out my Dad was terminal and my time left with him was LIMITED! My time with my Dad is and was more important to me than spending time with her at that moment because it wasn't a vacation! I was preparing to say goodbye to the man who raised me and to also support my mom and sister through this process. Yet somehow, my ex-friend felt the need to say I wasn't around for her. What?!
