I have this best friend. She's my VERY best friend in the whole world. I've known her since I was 10 and she was 8. We've been there for all of the important events in each others lives, so far...
I feel like I've lost her.
she moved to Florida a little over 2 years ago and in that time I've only gotten to see her three times. Twice when she came back home, and once when I went to visit her. Neither visit gave us much time to catch up. When she came here the first time, she brought her boyfriend with her... who can talk about anything important with a man around? (LOL) the second time, she spent half of her time here in the driveway talking to her ex-husband, who had picked her up at the airport and drove her here and I taxied her to her hotel. When I went for my vist there, I arrived on Wedsneday evening, she worked all day Thursday, and I left early Friday afternoon. All in all the visits were rushed.
I miss her A LOT.
I try to call... I always get her voice mail. She take days, weeks, sometimes even months to call back, and when she does it's a rushed conversation with her on the cell phone while she's driving to or from work, on her way to dinner, the grocery store....whatever. The conversation always starts the same... "Sorry I haven't been in touch. I've been busy. I don't have much time, I'm on my way to ______."
Yesterday... the same thing. Except this time, she had another call come in and took it. She never came back to me, or called back... I tried calling her back twice, just to be thrown into voicemail. I waited over two hours for her to call back... then I gave up and got online.
She tells me that I'm the one person that she knows is always there for her and that she loves me to death, but I'm feeling taken for granted... as if she feels I'm just sitting around waiting for her to need me and that I'm only "useful" when she's needy.
I don't know how to let her know how much this hurts me without hurting her in the process.... can anyone help me?
