If my friends and family weighed the quality of our relationship based on who initiates I would have no close relationships, not even a bf, I maybe initiate a convo with him once a week.

I'm super busy, (single mother, job, sick mother) super drained from being busy, and honestly I just suck at keeping in touch.

My best friend is luckily just as busy, she literally lives 2 houses away and we rarely text and maybe see each other once a month!

I think instant communication has created this expectation in alot of people for others to stay in constant contact and to respond immediately... I kind of resent it tbh.

And that says alot considering I have abandonment issues of my own.

If your friend is not living up to your expectations of what a good friend is, then by all means let her go, don't settle for something that you find so unfulfilling.
