[quote=Anonymous]There is a big range between active dislike and refusing to see someone and choosing to be their BFF. Aim for a cordial, calm, friendly but cool relationship. "I'm so sorry, I just don't have time in the day for all the things I'd like to get in. I'm glad we get together as regularly as we do with the various family events but I just can't do more." I've used my increased demands w/ family, marriage, in-laws, children, etc.. to help me navigate the waters of demanding friends and family. It isn't hurtful (and it's probably true) to say that you just don't have time for everything you'd like to do. She doesn't need to know that when you had time you'd choose anything other than her - she just needs to hear no, and in a way that isn't likely to change. Good luck.[/quote]
