You weren’t perfect, but she greeted your sincere sentiments with bitterness that melted my hair.
Hey Carolyn, the last time I checked, phones and email travel both ways, not to mention social media. It actually kind of sucks to be the friend who puts in all the effort into the relationship, only to be dismissed the way LW did once their friend decided to stop putting in the energy to keep in touch. LW made no effort to connect with their friend at all until a convenient opportunity arose with the wedding. Imho that says more about LW than the friend. While I agree the friend was harsh, she imho wasn't wrong, and I sympathize with the friend. If LW has genuine problems reaching out, then they should find some advice or support to help them do so. Otherwise, this could very well happen again.
