[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can think of 2 friends who seemed to have distanced themselves from me. Both are divorced.

My childhood best friend is divorced and childless. Over the years, we just seem to have less and less in common. She also lives in a different state so the texts, calls, visits and trips have just become nonexistent since covid.

I have another friend who was a close family friend. She got divorced last year and seems to have just dropped me. I don’t think it is just me though, maybe all our mom and family friends.[/quote]

Has it occurred to you in the case of your divorced friends that they’re going through a lot emotionally and otherwise and maybe need you to be more proactive in seeing how they are doing? Divorce is painful and isolating.[/quote]

Same here. DH and I have a divorced 61-year old friend who seems to distance herself from me all the time. The difference is that she's been divorced for at least 15 years, which is when we moved to this neighbourhood. I saw her in the street 2 or 3 weeks ago. She said she had a couple days off work. I suggested a coffee date and she said she was busy. I sent her a text last weekend to ask if she's free for coffee next weekend. Radio silence.

My DH suggested I ring her and ask, or ring her doorbell.
Would this be too intense?[/quote]
