[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the hurt or questioning stems from an "I'm busier than you" dynamic -- people who fall off the face of the earth due to being "so busy!" or overwhelmed, and then resurface expecting friendships to just pick right back up. It doesn't work that way. To have friendships, you have to sustain them and that means sometimes making the effort: to skip bedtime and let your kid cry or your husband figure it out or whatever. If you have no interest in maintaining friendships, that's a different story.[/quote] …for you. I have friends who “resurface,” and I love to see them when they do. I don’t take that kind of thing personally. If Jane is off the radar for a while, I enjoy the company of other friends. When she’s recharged—or when she needs help to get to a better place—I’m there for her. Some of us don’t bean count and measure friendship by any means possible. It’s called going with the flow.[/quote]
