Is it worth it? Or should I let it go?
We've been close friends for 4 years and she replaced me in 2023, we didn't text for a year till I DMed her again. Honestly, I wish I didn't, we wouldn't even still be in contact today if she had other people to talk to and a boyfriend.
We've gotten close again in July - Dec 2024 though the start of 2025 everything's been going downhill again and I want to let go of her. I've been thinking about everything that she's done to me that's wrong. These 2 months been really tough, I started distancing myself because I felt like I was expecting too much on her. I never got any reassurance or closure or even an apology on why we 'drifted apart' a year ago. I'm frustrated how I always had to hint out the problems she caused that impacted me while I always knew if I did something wrong and I'd fix it, like always. It makes me think 'am I asking too much?' all the time when I want to receive the bare minimum from her.
We haven't been talking so much like we used to 24/7 and it's causing tension and arguments and she's wondering what's wrong, why she's getting treated that way. It's so frustrating because everything that she's been feeling was what I felt when she stopped trying and texting me a year ago because she got a bf, it's totally fine when she got a bf but she literally stopped talking to me, always dry convos, I always had to text first and I hated it so much. She was like my bestfriend and for her to just easily drop me like that? I guess it was a sign. Lately we've been talking it through a lot, by talking it through I mean me initiating a long convo, argument then talking about the issues and her giving excuses and explanations that aren't satisfying me like I need more than this but that's asking too much. It's so exhausting, she complains she's exhausted too.
I'm a person who holds grudges that stay for a long time but when I talk about it, she always gives me excuses like 'I didn't message you but you were always on my mind' 'why do you keep 'dragging' the past?' (which I never did, I talked about it in depth that one time and how it left me feeling like fuck man. Even if I was dragging the past do you even wonder why I was? )
She said she loves me romantically yet she treats me this way. I just needed reassurance. But I'm starting to feel like a hater so should I let her go?
Uh I had a thing happened like that with a friend. We used to text 24/7 and I would get anxious if she did not text me one day. Eventually she stopped talking to me (her laptop broke so we couldnt play MMO together anymore). Honestly what helped me was letting her go, build friends outside of her... and years later we just connected again. We are b......
