[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you're being a little petty and childish. I doubt there was any ill-intention on her part, sometimes people just get very busy with their lives and need to prioritize. In times like this unless you're a very good friend who has been with her through thick and thin, you don't get top billing on her to do list. It is what it is. [/quote]

This. It's the reason I finally ghosted a friend a decided to never follow back up. I went MIA after a busy summer and fall and then reached out to wish her a happy birthday and to apologize for being MIA. Instead of her just being nice about it and saying so glad to hear from you let's get together, she started off with-wow, surprised to hear from you after you disappeared as if somehow communicating is my responsibility. I didn't follow up after that because that is just petty and childish. [/quote]

So you are upset that she called you out for your poor behavior?  Everyone has issues.  A text response to someone takes 3 seconds. You are at fault here, not her.  I applaud her for being direct - people shouldn’t have to be afraid of calling others out for behaving badly[/quote]

How is this bad behavior? We're not allowed to be MIA for a bit? In all fairness, she didn't send a text during that time either, so why does one person have to be responsible for communication and then get blamed for lack thereof?  Unreal some of the people on here. I would never treat a friend like that. I have friends who go dark and then I'll hear from them a few months down the road and I treat them like nothing has happened. People can go dark if they want to and communication is a two way street btw. [/quote]

DP - according to you, you went MIA for a busy summer and fall - six months? - and don’t see communicating as a responsibility in a friendship?  What on earth?  [/quote]

The other friend went MIA too. It's not like I ignored their text and never responded. they never reached out either and I honestly didn't notice. If a friend of mine kind of went missing and then returned I wouldn't lash out at them for not taking the initiative to text first. I would be more understanding[/quote]
