I am so hurt right now, so please excuse my venting....
My best friend and I have known each other since 6th grade, and we've always been close. Once we graduated, I went to college and she started working full time. Of course we lost touch a little bit since we were on different paths, but we always found time for each other when we had it and never forgot things like birthdays and such. Well college has come and gone, and now we are even less in contact. I got married last October, and of course she was my Maid of Honor. We kept in touch till right after Christmas, and then she started hanging out with new people where she works. I totally understand that we have our own lives now, and of course since we are grown up now we are going to talk less, but in February she completely forgot my birthday. It wasn't the first time she's done this (she forgot the year before too), but this time it really hurt. Maybe because I live in a new area, and had to basically find new people to talk too. It has been really tough.
She did send me an email the day after my birthday just to say hello, and she asked me what I did the day before!!!
I couldn't believe it because it was my birthday that day, and I brought it up saying I went out because it was my birthday. She responded, but didn't acknowledge what I said and started with another topic. After that I was like whatever with it, and if she ever needs to talk to me I'll be here. But tonight I logged into my Myspace account and saw she posted a new photo album. I clicked on it, and it is pictures she took from her new friend's 23rd birthday party she hosted!!! It just really hurt, because she didn't even remember mine, and of course I remember that hers is in two weeks. I know this might sound petty, but it just really hurt and I don't understand.....
I've always been considerate of her feelings, and I've put up with a lot. But with this it just makes me feel like she just doesn't care anymore.
