How does one cope with the decision to say good bye to life long friend?
It has been 20-+ years since I have been friends with my BFF. Some of our most awkard moments in life we went through together. High School would of been embarable without her. However.. here we are 20+ years later and our friendship is dead as ever. Moving thousands of miles away did it but we kept in contact. Her marriage hitting the skids..and being a single mom we managed still.. Her new marriage of a few years and a new baby have pretty much be the causative root of her attn elsewhere. She openly admits that she is too busy to keep in touch ( please save the conclusion of me not being married or without children out of this as it is not true… no jelously here. ) Too busy to keep in touch… means… no calls on my recent wedding, no return emails, no return calls and often when a call is placed she has to go after a minute because family duty calls. ( It was never like this with her 12 year old when she was born.. ) Also the few emails I have gotten are all about the
her recent child’s birth. I am sad and I sent an email to talk to her about this… and she immediately went defensive. SO I said it was time to say official good bye…. as I felt no need to keep myself around for nothing but disapointments.

I have walked away from people that didn’t have time for me, but never said good-bye. I think when time allows, they will get in touch with me again, if not then I know I have been a friend through and through. Maybe you should just send an email, once a month to let her know how things are going on your end, and wait for her to send one about her life. If she doesn’t, then after a short while, make the emails farther and farther apart, the rest will be up to her.
No need to do anything but live your own life as she has chosen to do. Then you have no regrets later. Bless you ~~
thing happen for a reason
I don’t think an official goodbye is needed. Just let her go and move on.
