Friendship that is one-sided

Yes, I do! I have a number of friends who constantly offload their (self-imposed) problems to me but never ask if I am OK. They seem to think that as I have a stable marriage and a comfortable home then I must be OK all the time. Just recently I have stopped phoning some of them to see the response. I might add that sometimes I am the only one who makes contact. I have stepped back a little and set boundaries, basically for my own wellbeing.

You’re too nice to let yourself be taken advantage of, maybe try and join a new club, or a choir or do a course and meet some new people and ease contact off with this “friend” ?

That is sad.

No experience, but I guess it depends how much you are getting out of the friendship?
