Best Friends

Best friends are supposed to be there for each other; to talk, listen and hang out. Abandoning and ditching aren't really part of those first three categories unless you're including opposites.

It's not that I'm mad, but I feel really left out and hurt when my best friend doesn't take my phone calls, won't call me back, leaves me out of huge parts of her life and then doesn't even realize she's doing it! I mean, what am I? Who am I?

Am I not there for you whenever you need to vent or talk? Have I not supported you throughout the toughest moments in your life so far? Am I not supposed to be your maid of honor, thus including me in your wedding planning? I don't want to be in control, I just want to be there for the moments that make that day (if I'm speaking Solely of the wedding). Have I not signed up to help you and your independent business venture?

When a best friend hasn't called you, and then calls to ask how the business is going, when she should know you're at work, but you take time to answer the call and even say you'll call her back, but then when you do call her back (maybe 30 minutes later) she doesn't answer so you leave a message but she doesn't return the call that day and THEN when you text her the next day asking if she's busy she just responds 'what's up?' It gets a little hurtful.

I feel like I'm not mad at her, but I do feel very disjointed and left out. We've been friends since we were 5, and she goes out with someone else (or no one, I don't know because we haven't talked yet) to find her wedding dress - which I specifically said many times that I'd love to go with her. And something like this, the way I'm feeling, isn't exactly the best thing to leave to a text message.
