Me and my best friend are drifting apart. She never seems to want to hang out anymore.
It was an easy platform to communicate, and i enjoyed talking with the other party.

Question
Well recently when I ask my best friend to hang out, she always seems to have an excuse and we havent hung together in months.

I understand your feeling of being upset, I would be too. Do you think it may have something to do with the pandemic, or possibly something else?
assistant
Question
I dont think it's the pandemic because she has gone to other friends houses and seen other people.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've dealt with something similar earlier this year myself. I know how you are feeling. Have you tried to reach out to her and let her know how you've felt?

Yes i told her how i felt and she said she was just busy. I just feel like she is taking me for granted and Im not a priority. I feel like we are all busy but I would find time for her and I dont feel she is doing the same for me.

I see. I would feel the same way if it were in your position. You seem like a person who would go above and beyond for a good friend.

Thank you. I try to be a good friend. My husband thinks I should just not talk to her anymore but we have been friends for almost 10 years.

You do seem like a wonderful person, and anyone who is your friend would be lucky to say so. It does sound like your husband may be right. or even just taking a break for a little bit.

Okay. I think I could take a break. I am just worried I will never find a friendship like we use to have again.

I totally understand that, especially with how long the friendship was. Sometimes just a little time away from eachother works.
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
Okay. I will try that. Do you think I should say we need space or just distance myself for a bit and see what happens?
user

I would just distance it, and see if she reaches out in a week or so. if not, I would just reach out and see how everything is going.
assistant
