Losing friends...

. We always used to do something nice for our birthdays and at Christmas but no more. One friend disappeared completely as soon as she partnered up and the other makes plans but cancels each and every time until this Christmas and birthday when we made no plans at all. She only socialises with 'couple' friends. I've not sat and waited for contact or an invite, I've been proactive but after a couple of years of trying to keep hold of the friendship I give up.

I recall your earlier thread re being unhappy where you live etc, and being skint, have you maybe pushed some friends away by not being able to join them on nights out etc? Have they got tired asking you out? Or maybe they don't want to embarrass you by asking?

Maybe you could get in contact them and ask them to do something free, I have a friend I meet at times to walk with, another I meet at the gym, then a few times a year we have a night out. Is anything like this an option.
