Dear Queenie,
My wife and I have been good friends with another couple for a long time. We had a lot in common and our families spent a lot of time and did a lot of things together. But things have changed recently and now it’s only us that try to get together with them and very often they are not up for it.
I tried to find out if there was some problem between us, but the husband just said they had gotten busy with other things and didn’t have as much time for us anymore.
Queenie, what might have happened?—Cut-off friends
Dear Cut-off friends,
Not all friendships last forever. Sometimes there is no specific reason for one to just “fade out,” and trying to figure out why is a waste of time and energy.
Think of it as “just one of those things” and try to move on.
