How do you know when you've lost the friendship?
I've had this best friend for decades. We used to be super close, but life happens and as the years have gone on, we've not done as much together. Here's the thing. For the last decade, I'm always the one to initiate contact. I go to her house and we have a great time talking, but she doesn't come to mine. I reach out, she doesn't reach back. I get that people get busy, but when I was diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening illness, all my other friends were very supportive...but all I got from her was "hugs."
I feel like she's moved on from the friendship and doesn't want to say so. I'm not the most socially savvy person, but I'm wondering if I should keep trying. I really love this person and valued our friendship--she was family to me, once upon a time. But I don't want to be that annoying "friend" who just doesn't take the hint, either. Any help here?
