[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need a break from this person. She doesn’t understand other people’s POV so I doubt she’s going to be receptive to a conversation. Over the last week, I’ve been ignoring her calls and texts. I will “thumbs up” or “laugh react” over text but that’s about it. She has called me over 25 times in the past 3 days and texts me asking when I can call her back. I have replied that I’m extremely busy this week (and I am!).

Is it okay to pull away from a friendship without explicitly telling the person that’s what you’re doing?

Fwiw: I just need like a few weeks without her constantly calling and texting me. I’m not ghosting her and it’s not going to be forever. I just need to get my bearings in my own life right now. [/quote]

I get it, OP.  I dropped a friend because her spouse was too much - inappropriate, has anger issues, and is mentally ill and becoming progressively worse. Former friend is in denial, the spouse has gotten themselves into some (scorching) hot water, and it has gotten to a point that the spouse will face repercussions they never saw coming.

Boundaries are crucial.
