[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand that OP is mostly offended by the fact that friend
1)never asked how the child was doing
2) does not respond to messages

No one expected this friend to alter plans and come visit OP.[/quote]

Agree.  And yes, it's lousy of this friend to ignore communications post trip.  A friend has a sick child, and that's the time you decide to distance yourself?  What's up with that.  Either the friend is not a very nice person or the cancellation of the meet up is the straw the broke the camel's back after a long series of perceived slights.  If the latter, friend should have the decency to just say so.  They live in different countries, so it's not like she's have to have an awkward face-to-face conversation.  I short email with request that friendship be allowed to die would be a respectful way to handle it, given the circumstances.

It's all the more puzzling given that OP is the one inconvenienced by the change in plans. [b] She was going to fly 5 hours to meet up with friend based on friend's itinerary.  From my reading of the post, the change in plans was not going to dramatically change friend's travel arrangements.  Is that correct?[[/b][/quote]

If the most convenient meeting place was a 5 hour flight away,  then hell yeah that's a dramatic change.  It would be an extra trip that was not originally in the itinerary.   The whole story is just weird though.  I'm wondering why the visiting friend didn't just make her friend a part of the itinerary...since they make such a huge effort to meet up with each other anyway.[/quote]

You missed important info. The closest meeting place is 2 hours away. The friend wanted to meet at the 5 hour away place so they could also enjoy family VACATION. [/quote]

I just went back and carefully re-read the OP. it doesnt say anything about 2 hours. Are you the OP but not acknowledging that?[/quote]
