[quote=Anonymous][quote]We ... talk everyday, see each other several times a week... but lately I just feel like she simply cannot relate[/quote] OP, you dial back. You need to see her less. You need to talk less. With "less", your expectations will be less. That is the only way for this friendship to survive. Empower yourself. You control the frequency. You are letting resentment build. Resentment will kill this friendship --- and it won't matter "who" wasn't understanding, or who said what. ... if the frequency YOU establish is less than she wants, she *may* reflect on the friendship and think deeper about it. She may not. But change-of-attititude has to come from her. Through some self reflection. Nothing you say, no magic words, are going to make it happen.[/quote]
