"Every week has become too much for me lately, so I need to switch to every other week."
That's it. |

You don't want to is a fine enough reason. I dunno how you ladies maintain friendships when you can't seem to actually talk to people. I can absolutely tell my friends "I don't want to" and that is fine. Vice versa. |

| Just say you’re feeling overwhelmed and every other week works better. That’s still really often imo. I have close friends but given kids, work etc, I don’t see any that often. |

Op here. First, I think I will try to switch to daytimes on weekends. Second, hopefully she has to spend time with her family on weekends and she will bail out.
I will update! |

| OP here. I started canceling every other friday. so far it works well. It helps that where I live restaurants are open outdoors so there's a little more variety. Thanks for helping me choose a strategy that seems to be working! |

Why do you keep digging up these older threads just to write things like "you're welcome!"?? This is the 4th one I've seen you do this to! |

| I would make excuses (kid is sick, kid needs homework help, laundry today) until she falls into the new routine. |
