What about 16 smaller/token presents?I'm stuck for ideas for my sons 16th please throw ideas this way
I'm sorry this happened to you, it sounds like you're a good friend that remains involved and supportive no matter the distance and she hasn't reciprocated.My friend, but it is more upsetting than annoying.
We've been friends for almost 20 years, and we used to live near to each other and saw each other every day. For the past 16 years or so we have not lived close to each other but still kept in touch all the time and would stay at each other's house throughout the year, go on holiday together, day trips etc. We were close and it was a great friendship, we never had a cross word to say to each other and supported each other through difficult times.
A few years ago I noticed she was a bit distant. She'd not reply to text messages for a long time, and then come back and apologise saying it was hectic with moving etc. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and thought once things had settled down normal communication would resume.
Fast forward a year and a bit and it hasn't. I send her a message and it is left unread for months. For her birthday I sent a card and a text, she replied to the text the next day thanking me and asking how I am, I replied and she left it unread for two months.
It feels like the only time she really gets back to me now is when she has something to tell me. New house, getting married, baby etc. Yet whenever I reply it goes unanswered. She's stopped making an excuse now and will not even address my past text messages or why she's not replied in so long, she will instead just give her update.
She messaged me a few days ago with more news and ended by saying "I feel like I haven't seen you in ages."
It's true, we haven't. I'd love to go and visit her but I barely ever hear from her. Before when she would ask how I was I'd be honest and give her an update on what's going on in my life etc but it hurt when she didn't even acknowledge my replies so whenever she asks now I just say "I'm fine thank you, how are you?" She doesn't really know anything about my life / me anymore. She tells me all what's going on with her but she has nothing to ask me about, she just asks how work is and generic things.
I'm trying to think of how to reply to the message but haven't found the right words yet.
Thank you do much for your thoughtful reply, it's really helpful to see it from a perspective of someone who has been through something similar.I'm sorry this happened to you, it sounds like you're a good friend that remains involved and supportive no matter the distance and she hasn't reciprocated.
You didn't ask for advice or anything but I've been there a couple of times. In the end you have to decide whether you keep going as is and keep a semblance of a friendship that is completely one sided and makes you feel bad,: you let it go too and stop responding as well and either she reacts or the friendship ends quietly; or you openly tell her that you've noticed her only messaging when it involves her and never caring to ask about your life beyond banalities and how it's made you feel. And she either takes responsibility and does better or the friendship ends.
It sounds like what you have right now isn't a real friendship either so I'd say just be honest with her and let the chips fall as they will. You've got nothing to lose since your friend isn't acting like one anyways.

Go and bloody spoon him. Then wet willy the bugger!!Was meant to go for an afternoon walk/coffee with my bf before he starts work at 6pm. We haven’t done much together recently and he’s been complaining about it, so I said fine we’ll do something today since we both had this morning and this afternoon off.
He went upstairs at 1pm to put his phone on charge and get changed… then he fell asleep. It’s not 4.05pm, he’s still asleep and he starts work in just under 2hrs. Pissed right off is an understatement
