Asked a friend out to lunch on Friday via facebook after a chat. She answered me when I asked how she was and what she was up to the rest of the week, she said she wasn’t up to much and then I asked her out to lunch. Silence. Except not long after she posted on her own page then the next day she went out to Nando’s with another friend and posted about it on Facebook.
This is the friend that I once spent an entire afternoon fixing, printing and handing in an essay at University for when she was sick. I also came with presents to her daughters birthday party and she was also the first person I told when I found out I was pregnant with my son. So I thought we were pretty solid. It’s possible I have the wrong end of the stick, but really every time I’ve tried to ask to see her she’s not had time. I can’t blame her entirely for that though, she has her own family and of course commitments to work. Maternity leave can be dreadfully lonely and I’ve not seen a soul since around October last year. I just feel a little bit snubbed and on my own.
Of course I try to keep myself busy with the gym and it’s only a few weeks before I finally get to return to Uni but it couldn’t come soon enough. I wish I’d never had to stop in the first place.
