[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The backstory is that one of my best friends ghosted me six years ago, right around the time my husband and I got engaged.  After a few months of her avoiding me, we were going to get together for drinks but then cancelled via email saying she didn't want to and that the reason she ghosted me was b/c she saw us going in different directions or having different priorities (I forget the exact wording).  I didn't know how to respond b/c this came out of left field.  It's been six years and I've thought about reaching out to her, esp when I saw she was getting married but didn't b/c I didn't want to intrude, esp if it would be hurtful or stressful for her to hear from me.  I want to reach out to say hi, that she doesn't need to respond but I've been thinking about her and am sorry our friendship ended and hope she's well.  I'm not expecting her to come back and be like, I missed you too, let's be BFF's again.  Thoughts? How have others navigated this?  [/quote]

She dumped you and hasn't reached out. I think that speaks pretty loudly about how much she'd like to hear from you. I would just leave her be. [/quote]

I disagree.  She may have been feeling jealous and now is too ashamed of her childishness to reach out.  I think you reaching out to her once would be fine.  I'm assuming there was no big blowup, per your OP.  She is always free not to respond.[/quote]
