I'm going to come at this from a different perspective. What benefit do you get from this friendship?

That's a really good question. I don't have a lot of people in my life that I see regularly. My longterm boyfriend passed away. I live far from family, and I live alone. Over the years, a number of friends have moved out of the area. So I try to make the most of the connections I have. I found this friend to be reasonably good company now and then. Honestly, though, she was kind of wearing me out at times. Maybe, at some level, she was sensing that, and maybe felt, for a while, that I wasn't giving her enough attention. She tends to have that complaint about other friends too. She tends to want quite a lot of attention. Seeing less of her might actually be kind of a relief.
