[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you reached out to her and asked? That's what I'd do.  Or if you don't want to be confrontational -- reach out and make a plan.  What was "awkward" about the dinner? We need more insight.[/quote]

I did reach out when I sensed her pulling away (texting less, etc.) I invited her to a movie and again out to dinner. She declined both times. It began to feel very one-sided, so I stopped reaching out.

As for why the dinner was awkward: They could only meet on a Sunday at 5. It took forever to get her to commit to a time, at that. We went to a restaurant that was barely a restaurant -- more like a cafe with a few seats and super slow service (this friend and I used to love trying fun, big new spots). Both of them declared the evening over after an hour - it was clear it was NOT a priority for them to be there. It felt odd and hurtful.[/quote]

I did something similar when my kids were born. I had no family in this country, was bouncing a toddler and post-graduate degree, then another pregnancy, a toddler, new born and new job. I simply had only so many hours in a day to take care of kids, myself (I continued going to gym) and my relationship with husband. My closest friends at that time were either not married, or married with no kids. I tried to re-connect later, in 5 years maybe, when our live became less hectic, but by that time one of my friends had a baby and she was less available.[/quote]
