Okay long story short. I have a friend who I think is sort of trying to let me go friendship wise. It's complex because although we've been friends for almost twenty five years we had a shared in law bond. Anyway without going into too much detail, if you asked someone for lunch / coffee / dinner on three separate occasions and they brushed you off making excuses would you just leave it and not bother mentioning again? Am I being over sensitive??? Have tried to make gentle enquiries without sounding nosey as to why they weren't up for it and been met with excuses. Yet they do things like sending birthday presents and cards etc? So not like they are severing ties? Should I just get on with it and continue to send cards etc but not offer meet ups again? Feel a bit confused. Lol it's probably straight forward to most people!
