[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, she's awful.  I had a falling out with a friend and many years went by with no contact (mutual) but when my mom died suddenly, she reached out and I was really touched -- we slowly rekindled the friendship and never discussed what went wrong.  We just agreed that we were just happy we'd reconnected.

Making a point of getting together to let you know that she's been purposefully ignoring you for 10 years, including the death of your mom, is amazingly obnoxious.  It says a lot more about her than whatever minor transgression you supposedly committed.

To bring it up after all that time, be snide about you not being able to recall the issue, and STILL not tell you the specifics?  That you didn't just get up and walk away says you're nicer than I am.  Some people aren't worth it.[/quote]

FWIW, my DH was never really a fan of hers - I'm realizing he probably was not doing a good job @ disguising that night.  She did provide some specifics though not ones that seem to rise to "I'm going to blow you off, including not even a condolence for your mom."  Look I don't want to be thoughtless, graceless host and friend - I'll own that and be mindful.  Am guessing that there is more here and the incident is the catalyst for her action.    [/quote]
