[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading between the lines a little, I'm wondering if she is simply telling you about her day to day life, which is what friends catching up do, and because of your discomfort with the difference between your life and her life, it is awkward to you when it's your turn to share.
With the relationship you described (phone calls regularly) it may be simply that "what did you do this weekend" is naturally going to include descriptions of things out of your reach that are her day to day reality.
With all that being said, if it is uncomfortable and awkward for you, then yes, you need to back away from this friendship. But maybe a fair look at what your part in this is would be helpful in your own life, too.
FWIW I am the "poor" person in a friendship like this, but don't have similar feelings of awkwardness when sharing about camping after listening to what her yacht captain wore to dinner, but that's just me and my friend is lovely

I agree.  I'm the "rich" friend in a relationship and with one friend I feel like I have to hide details about my life.  I feel like I can't share about a vacation or I have to be embarrassed when she notices my new shoes or handbag.  It's a little strange.  [/quote]

My rich friend wrote on FB... "Please pray for my family during this trying time."

It ended up they were flying to Dubai for vacation.

She later posted a picture of her son sleeping in a bed in the plane, "all safe and sound, thanks for the prayers"

You sort of sound like her.[/quote]
