[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 711494, member: 4152"] That was great Copa, thank you! I might write more later. I talked with her at length re the first incident. I was very upfront. I told her I was deeply hurt. I'm glad I spoke up and I'm glad she seemed to of heard me. You are right. You can't expect people to be perfect and you don't walk away from long term friendships without at least a very long pause first. They have lost the friendship of certain close relatives. So, troubles are many due to changes in behavior. Then there is potential jealousy. Maybe some small cultural influence. It's complicated. I don't think I want to have another difficult conversation with her. You are right, she didn't deal all that well with honesty last time. Part of me feels like that first very difficult conversation didn't do much. You can never fully know what a person is going through so perhaps there is much more to this story and I'm unaware. I don't think I can change this odd distancing and I'm making peace with it. But it's still difficult...hence these periodic posts reaching out. The replies are comforting. Many thanks Copa and everyone. [/QUOTE]
