Wanting to unfriend a "friend"

Hurrying indoors from the cold,dark and the wet my friend managed to catch me .She began the list of how busy she is and she can't stop to talk to me .
It always the same .

Sometimes ,
I think that she trues to justify her existence.

I thought it's a shame that I didn't say that during the first twenty something years that I knew you.
Gardening in the front and back gardens were impossible listening to your endless chatter. and then , we'd have another installment as you came round for a cup of tea .
And certainly,outstayed your welcome !

Your friend may have found retirement difficult as she no longer has work colleagues. She could be struggling without social contact every day.
Or she is just plain annoying.
I would post her a Birthday card, making sure to post second class a good week or so before her Birthday to ensure it arrives on time.
As for meeting up for lunch, how about meeting in a park instead. You can amble around and try to steer the conversation to the trees, flowers etc.
Just don't arrange any more lunch dates.

Hi everyone.
Just to thank you all for your support and comments again. My friend has been diagnosed with a brain tumour. I feel so bad about my feelings towards her. Not sure if this may have contributed to her behaviors but I will support her through this. I just wanted to update. Bless you all.

And bless you for supporting her too.

Butterbean - I am glad you now know what was happening to your friend and are able to support her. What a sad story, don’t feel bad though, you couldn’t know why her behaviour had changed. All good wishes to you and to your friend.

Many years ago I was in a position of authority. There was lady who was supposed to deliver certain items at certain times. Sorry, I have to keep this vague as I don't want to identify anyone. She kept forgetting and sending me apologies. She then developed terrible headaches and was sent for an examination. It turned out she had a brain tumour and died six weeks later. I still feel guilty when I look back 30 years and think of how intolerant I was.

Oh dear I ve been following this thread and hoping you didn’t ditch her
I m pleased you ve found out and hope you ll be able to help her over ( what might be last months ) my cousin had a brain tumour and it was very quick a matter of months between diagnosis and death
Poor lady

Hi SpinDriftCoastal.
I guess with hindsight a lot of people could be more tolerant but we shouldn't feel guilty I suppose. We are just trying to deal with what's happening at that time, if that makes sense.

Hi everyone.
I will update when I know more. You have all given me food for thought and I appreciate all your kind words.
❤

So sorry to hear about your cousin, Bluebell.

The fact is you were worried about your feelings towards your friend which is why you reached out on here. If you were an uncaring person you wouldn’t have done that…x
