You know...I have always felt like I don't have enough friends. There are only a couple of other women that I hang out with in my city. The rest of the people I know are more aquantainces than anything else.

But, I do have 2 best friends that both live in other countries now. I sometimes don't speak with them for months at a time - they still love me just as much. I called one of them after my breakup and she is moving but begged me to come to her anyways.

In your situation, I would just ask myself, do I need to be with these people? Do I want them as friends or just acquantainces to hangout with? A person needs some fun company sometimes and it doesn't have to come from people you consider absolute friends. So can you just hang out with them because they are fun and bring you joy? or will you constantly feel bitter toward them and not forgive them? Then you would just set yourself up for more problems.

Do you have other friends that love and respect? I think in friends - quality versus quantity rule does apply.

But before you make up your mind to put these people aside. Maybe having a heart to heart talk to clear any misunderstandings on both your parts would be best. There is no rush right?

Keep me posted,
Ash
