Letter writer dreads “every text, email and call” from this very negative friend.
However, she was very persistent about befriending me, so I saw her casually and also spent many hours supporting her after a job loss a decade ago. While she has now stabilized, she never returned to her prior career and remains very angry.
Can I just ghost her? Do I owe her some kind of explanation, and if so, what should it be? I will admit that I resent having to do this emotional labor during a difficult time for someone I never felt close to. But I also dread every text, email and call I receive from her, so any advice would be very welcome.Placing this friendship on “pause” is precisely what you should do.
If she refuses to respect your wishes and continues to contact you, then it might be time to block her and consider the friendship to have ended.We have close friends whose daughter is getting married in Italy. We will be traveling to the wedding, but my husband and I thought about it for a while before responding because, first of all, it’s not the easiest part of Italy to get to.
