But the thing is, my friend's not that type of person - she's the type that'd rather just avoid her at all costs he he he he...<br /><br />Anyway, I also hope for her own sake, she'll learn to say NO or to tell the other woman that too much is just too much.Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756387640551134005.post-74489975124534346802010-08-18T02:21:10.905+03:002010-08-18T02:21:10.905+03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mrs Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01461162314943275095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756387640551134005.post-70697468766547104752010-08-18T02:21:09.642+03:002010-08-18T02:21:09.642+03:00I am afraid that I wouldn't even be polite in ...I am afraid that I wouldn't even be polite in telling her. I'd say it like it needs to be said. ..but that's me! <br /><br />"For goodness sake woman.. gimme a break!" <br /><br />She sounds very 'young' mentally if she wants to spend a night round a friend. Unfortunately there are some people that simply don't learn boundaries growing up...and will not as an adult.. unless you wave the border under their nose! STRONGLY!<br /><br />Hope your friend sorts it out!Mrs Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01461162314943275095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756387640551134005.post-7728599373468429462010-08-17T19:12:42.554+03:002010-08-17T19:12:42.554+03:00Hey Amel,

So, I don't know what I would do in such cases. <br /><br />I hope all goes well for your friend, poor thing.<br /><br />Big hugMax Coutinhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588149349270422294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756387640551134005.post-30202601877290416372010-08-16T15:30:37.231+03:002010-08-16T15:30:37.231+03:00That's tough - 15 calls a day. Who has time to...That's tough - 15 calls a day. Who has time to make 15 calls a day? I expect her house is a mess. Ha, ha. <br />But seriously, that is not fair on your friend. I think it's a little rude and selfish to interrupt someone's time as much as that, especially as they are new friends and especially as this is not a crisis situation! <br />Your friend shouldn't feel guilty about not picking up every call. I think she should politely but firmly explain she loves hearing from her but she has a shop to run and a family to take care of and sometimes she doesn't have a lot of spare time. I hope she backs off a little and gives your friend some space.The World According To Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877147634501360129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756387640551134005.post-37072006055157095342010-08-16T14:54:53.427+03:002010-08-16T14:54:53.427+03:00Shinta + Henny: THANKS for sharing both of your ex...Shinta + Henny: THANKS for sharing both of your experiences.

I used to have a friend like that, too. We live in the same town and went to the same church. One day, she rang me at 3 am and unfortunately my mobile wasn't on silent mode. :( So, hubby was also woken up bcoz of her call. :( After that, I told her politely that I appreciate her friendship, but that 3 a.m call was just too much. Of course, it hurt her and she didn't contact me anymore for a while, but then once she realized my point, she got back to me (in a better way) and now we're still good friends. :)The Pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066534391691159770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756387640551134005.post-37559585728356259202010-08-15T14:46:09.502+03:002010-08-15T14:46:09.502+03:00oh man..that can be really annoying.

I did try to avoid her for awhile, but that didn't work (coz we lived in the same place)..at one point I just told her that as much as I'd like to be her friends, I needed my personal space to do my own things, and that even when I didn't spend so much time with her, it didn't mean that I loved her any less. It did hurt her a bit, but things got better after that, and now she is one of my bestfriends. =)Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817704766858431308noreply@blogger.com
