– Me and my friend went on a vacation abroad summer 2022. I had paid for flights and the hotel. Originally I was going with my partner, but I changed the name for a fee (that was actually as much as a new ticket) which I also paid for. My decision and I was happy to, I told her then she can just give dinner one day. My two kids (age 7 and 4) was also with me. She never bought dinner, ok. But then one day at the restaurant we got two bottles of water, she drank a little bit. The waiter put on bottle of water on my bill and one on her. It is only 2 eur for one, and she asked him to put both on my bill and so he did. (I am not rich, I was a student at the time sometimes working as a sub at the hospital but also none of us were broke, 2 euros would have made zero difference to any of us it is more abiut the principle).

– In general I feel like she is sometimes oblivious. Fx. We did some work together and she was almost always late or cancelled last minute. She tires very easily and can’t plan and often doesn’t show up (we are both 25, she has no kids, no school, no 9-5 and she is healthy so I felt like come on). We made plans with other people and agreements that she cancelled last minute not worried about their time. She is very “spiritual” and positive thinking etc. but it is like it doesn’t see other people. Fx. She wants to become a doula so has seen a birth before she gets pregnant one day.

– I just got my bachelors degree as a nurse. She was talking about how she used to work very hard in school, straight a’s, but quit after a yoga retreat because she wanted something different in life. She asked me if I thought it is hard to study, I am not a brag, but I loved being a student as we get paid to study, I love how flexible it is, etc and I don’t stress much. Then she was like maybe it also takes less and if you don’t care about grades (I get good grades)… okay fair enough (i am not doing the most afvanced degree, it just felt a bit weird to say that).

– With guys she also come with very oblivious comments I feel like. Fx. We know a married guy who has a child and she is travelling soon and she was like you should come with me. There was also once a guy she had liked once but now I was seeing him, and she said to me that he invited her to travel with him and that next time we saw him out we should both go and dance/grind on him. I was like wtf.

I feel like I am over this friendship. She seem so sweet, but I get more and more annoyed. We have mutual friends and come the same places. Maybe I am a but much. Maybe I should let it fade out. Or maybe I should talk about the things that annoy me and try to save our relationship? Right now I am so annoyed I can barely look at her when I see her, normally I am not like this.

  1. Get rid of what doesn’t bring you joy. If the friendship is done it is done. No big event is needed to make it official. You can just have plans any time she asks to do something. You are busy, no other explanation needed.

    Relationships change and that includes friendships. If it doesn’t add to your life it is ok to let it go.
