A close friend and I drifted apart after she moved away, but I now realize I'm no longer interested in her company. Dear Abby: What should I say?
Dear Abby: A close friend and I drifted apart after she moved away, but I now realize I'm no longer interested in her company. What should I say?
I have a friend I grew close to a few years ago. After she moved an hour away, we saw each other only occasionally. I have come to realize that I’m no longer interested in friendship. She focuses mostly on herself, and I no longer enjoy her company. I started communicating less and less often with her in an effort to let the relationship fade away, hoping the distance would allow for a more natural break. It has been a few years since I have communicated with her, but she continues to email, text and contact me on social media. I have not responded. Should I have handled this differently? I didn’t formally say goodbye, largely because I didn’t know what to say to end it. Please help.
Because such a long time has elapsed since you were close, I don’t think any “announcements” are necessary. If her messages and posts annoy you, simply block them.
