[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an old friend going back decades who never responds to emails, let alone texts. When we are with each other she's a good friend but when we are not together she makes no effort to stay in touch and never responds to communication from me. She is a busy mother with three children and a full time job and a bit of a scatterbrain (probably has some attention deficit disorder).

I do have mixed feelings about it. She is an old friend, but the lack of communication awareness is almost insulting and enough to make me give up, but when we're together it's like that never mattered. I still like her and I keep making excuses (see above) but I'm still on the fence about it.  [/quote]

Yes, this describes my situation too

I don't get why people are like this

I wonder how many of my friendships would just wither away and die if I quit communicating[/quote]

I am your friend. Both of you. This makes me sad. I am absolutely a real friend worth keeping, and when the ish hits the fan I will drop everything and be there. I just suck at the daily grind and kind of just respond to the demands in front of me. I have nothing left at the end of my day. But our friendship sustains me and I love when we get together.

+1 I'm your friend too. When my friends need me I'm a 'I'll be on a plane this afternoon' friend. I'm a 'help you hide the body' kind of friend. I'll move mountains to attend a funeral or a wedding or a milestone event. And I'll tie myself in knots fitting in time to see you if I happen to be in your neck of the woods. But I am awful at the day to day. I do have ADD, that I have managed throughout my life without medication which makes me feel crappy. And I keep my household together, but I have ALWAYS been terrible at this. Since I was a kid. Just part of who I am.
