[quote=Anonymous]Yes. I found that I had a number of friendships like this. One was a good friend from college and I found that I was always the one who would give her a call. I decided that I would keep calling her on about the same schedule but if she didn't give me a call in a year I would stop. A year went by and she never called so I stopped. Our husbands are friends and we see them occasionally and are still friendly, but I just decided not to put in any more effort into the relationship than she did. This is now pretty much my rule. If I put in all the effort, make all the calls, schedule all the plans for one year and you don't reciprocate, then I stop trying and move on. The key is to not get upset during the year, or even after. Occasionally someone will reach out to me after a long time and I always reengage. People can be going through something and not have time for you in the short term, but are worth knowing in the long term. [/quote]
