In reply to coming from the absent-minded friend, posted by karen_kay on January 17, 2007, at 20:26:45
Hi Jammer, just wanted to say that I've recently had similar prob with a close pal, she's been letting me down for years, often at the last minute and I usually find out she's not coming when I text her to find out where she's got to. Her husband and kids were invited to ours for a barbecue one Sunday, we went and got all the food in and had lit the barbie, then got a call to say she wasnt coming! No explanation! My husband was furious, and I actually defended her to him! What a sap! I could go on.... but before Christmas I'd had enough and called her out on her behaviour. It took some nerve as I didnt wanna upset her, but hell,she was upsetting me regularly! I just explained that what she was doing was,at best rude, and how would she like it done to her etc..I said I'd rather end the friendship than continue with her half-*ssed attitude. Cant say she liked being told but within a week she'd obviously thought on it a bit,we arranged to meet up - and she arrived on time - she agreed she was letting me down and so far she's been better. Time will tell... I can see KK's view, I'm not a perfect friend myself, but just a little effort in your friendships goes a long way.....
