After 5 days she has not responded. The only excuse I was given is that she is busy, yet I see her on Facebook all the time when I'm talking to other friends. In my opinion friends don't ignore each other.
So today I blocked her on my phone and Facebook. I also deleted most of her family from Facebook as well. She is still friends with my husband and I'm fine with that. I did not say anything else to her because I don't want to fight or hurt her feelings or mine. It's open ended though. If things change down the road I will be here. If they don't, I'm grateful for the memories.

I am so proud of you as this is a very calm and a classy approach. There is no reason, as you said, to talk about something that is so obvious (meaning her silence tells us what we already know) as it will most likely be a dramatic conversation in which you might say things that later you will regret. And, as much as I think what she did is unacceptable, she, for whatever reason, is choosing not to communicate with you and you are respecting her silent (and coward
) response.
I know how difficult it is to hold back your emotions while you so want to get the answers about the obscurities of this friendship. You are practicing 'letting go with class' and I admire you for that. Thank you for inspiring me.
