We have been friends for about 2 years. I like this person, but her stubbornness became a problem for me.
She has a very good life, money, good family, etc., and I have been struggling with personal and work problems.
We chat nearly everyday, and I try not to speak too much about my problems, as I am trying not to become depressed. My friend, on the other hand, keep complaining of everything and everyone, nothing really serious. And every time I try to give her some advice, she says 'no, I'm gonna do this and that'.
She was deciding her vacation, and she told me that she was going to Canada in winter. As she pregnant, has 3 other kids, and we live in a hot climate place, I told her that maybe would be better if she went to a warmer place. She of course told me that she loves the cold and that they can only enjoy it once a year. I didn't mentioned it anymore, but yesterday she called me from her vacation. She told me that she and the kids were sick because of the cold, that she hates the cold and she had 3 broker ribs of coughing. She said next year we will go to Germany instead. I told her that Germany is very cold in winter too, and why doesn't she go to Mexico? She said she know it, and that she hates Mexico because it is dangerous and they are bad to women there (although she's never actually been to Mexico). Like this many other stories, form her kids school, her car mechanic, her selfish sister, that baby-shower party, etc...
I know it sounds selfish, but I am just tired of listening to her complains, and getting the answer "no" every time I try to give her an advice. And she's not very good listening to criticism.
Should I distance myself form her?
