This probably sounds weird, but I TOLD her going in that I would be a very hard friend to have. She stayed around and we became best friends. I did a lot for her and vice-versa. She changed however, and instead of being emotionally close, she wanted to talk about recipes.
I kept hoping for the closeness again and I waited seven years (of recipes). My therapist and I agreed I had waited long enough and she just wasn't best friend material anymore.
I have enough other friends and this person lives in another state.
I sort of hope we can be friends again at some point, but I don't know.
I don't miss the drama and loneliness I felt with her.

Lilypup,
I want to send you a recipe so bad, bc I have a feeling you are a funny lady. Instead, here:
She was drama, drama, drama too. This friend loved to cook too! I am vegan. She would make extravagant meals, and serve me white bread and olive oil. Of course I would smile, and say I loved it, as she unnecessarily added the demi-glace to the root vegetables without reserving any for me. Lol, I feel you. I think we put our time in. My therapist is going to question why I explained to Jen that it wasn't working. She's going to say I should have just let it go and moved on. No confrontation. But Jen is super confrontational, and was this past week. I don't respond well to it. AT ALL.
It was a week of standing up for myself. Then again, I am filled with guilt. Look at my name here.
