LIFE STORIES

I was a newly wed when my husband was promoted by the bank he worked for. We moved hundreds of miles from our familiar, bustling community to a small town hundreds of miles away.
I didn’t have a job and spent my days trying to be a good housewife. It was brutally lonely. Fortunately we soon found a welcoming church community and my social life improved.
We met other young couples, similar in age and quickly became friends. We were in each other’s homes all the time, sharing tips, going out and having a truly wonderful time.
I also became very close to one of the ladies. We shared common interests as we had previously lived in the same town, although we hadn’t known each other at the time.
I trusted her completely. We even planned to have our babies at the same time. That plan didn’t work, but that’s a story for another time.
After a few months I felt something was off in our relationship. I didn’t know it at the time but she was giving all the signs that she no longer wanted to have anything to do with me. She just wasn’t brave enough to own it. Or, perhaps, she was worried about how being honest might make her look bad. After all, in a small town we were sure to bump into each other frequently.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, here are five things to look out for that women do when they no longer want to be friends with you.
She’s Always Busy
She’s suddenly got a jam-packed schedule and never seems to have time to spend with you. If her calendar is mysteriously full, it might be a sign.
Socialising with Different People
She’s started spending more time with other friends and seems less interested in spending time with you. It could be her way of creating some distance.
Quiet on Social Media
If she used to like and comment on your posts but now it’s radio silence, she might be pulling away.
Short Conversations
Your chats used to be full of laughs and stories, but now they feel like quick, polite exchanges. A shift in the vibe could mean she’s not as interested in the friendship.
Easily Annoyed
If she seems irritated by little things that never used to bother her, it might be a sign that she’s not feeling the friendship as much anymore.
Friendships can change, and that’s perfectly normal. However, if you notice these signs, it might be a good idea to have a chat and see where things stand.
