[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last straw for me was inviting a flaky friend to my house for lunch.

She arrived late and pretty much spent the entire time on her phone. Ate quickly and left. It was all so weird.

Same. I made lunch and they didn’t show up. Later, found out the person had major depression.

I felt kind of bad afterward that I did the slow fade. I still miss that person sometimes.

I no longer miss her. Sorry, but I did a lot of self-reflection and gave this relationship a great deal of thought and insight. To counter PP who contends that a slow fade or ghosting is cowardly, I disagree. When a relationship is so one sided and focused only upon the other persons needs and schedule and fragile emotions, I am done. This isn’t sustainable and isn’t real life. The world will not cater to your every whim, emotion, life changing event, moods and neither will I.

With this former friend, I later had an awful family situation to navigate and reached out to her to advise (kind of…hi, it’s been awhile but here’s what happened to me) and was met with a dismissive too bad/so sad answer. It was as if no one else could have setbacks and misfortunes except for her.
