I feel my best friend is purposely keeping something from me? Should I confront her about it? |
I have been a self-employed portrait photographer for 5 years. I went to school for it and have been working hard at building a great reputation in the area for my business. My best friend has suddenly quit her job to become one now too after struggling for 5 years at a dead end job. I was the last to find out. And whenever she calls now it's just to ask a business question. I'm feeling very hurt and used. We are about 100 miles apart. So I'm not threatened that she'll take any business away. I am honestly happy for her and want to help her as much as I can. But don't know where to draw the line to protect myself. Recently over Christmas she admitted to purposely omitting me from her Christmas card letters- "Saying she had since she had just talked to me she figured I wouldn't want to hear that same information again." I just am in desperate need of advice. I want to promote "HONESTY" to her for our relationship. But So many people have told me to just let it go. Friends don't have to tell everything. Listen to them, and let it go. You're probably too sensitive about this. But just in case, test her by tellling her you're too busy to talk the next couple times she calls asking for advice or help. Tell her you'll get back to her as soon as you can. There is no real line to draw except in that department. Once you feel you've given her enough help, see if her conversations go back to being about something other than business. If not, then mention that as a fact that it seems that's alll she ever cares to call you for anymore and you don't appreciate it. |
