Carolyn Hax: When losing touch becomes “not on speaking terms”
I was pretty surprised. There was no fight or disagreement or anything, just life. I’ve been busy with work, taking care of my dad, who injured himself pretty badly, etc. I probably could have reached out more, but ... I didn’t.
At the time, my husband had casually mentioned this text and the husband reaching out to get together for dinner, which we couldn’t do at the time because of covid. Yes, pretty clueless on my husband’s part.I’m conflicted as to how to proceed. I don’t want to throw away the friendship, but I’m also annoyed that she unfriended me.
And you now want to chastise her for not understanding your months of silence weren’t what she assumed they were?How about this: Call her, say you’re so sorry for dropping off the face of the earth, you were up to your earholes taking care of your badly injured dad, on top of the usual work and highly unusual covid-ness of it all, and you never meant to give the impression you were upset with her.
