What you also could do is move to Facebook and have your photos there and not have her as a friend on there - that way she won't see the photos of the kids.

But as for the txts I have a friend who is like that and I have given up on making all the contact with her. I have left it up to her to contact me and so far nothing so I know where I stand. It seems to me like she is just another FB person.

Thanks for your input girls.  I appreciate it.  I would love to know what she thinks on the matter, and if she's happy just being my text buddy (though even if she is, I'm not so will not continue our friendship this way).  I feel like this does suit her, as she is the one to text me first most days, and it is nice to know she's thinking of me, but it is hard to tell her everything through a text, and she doesn't tell me anything!  It's gotten really impersonal.  Basically she's just being nosey to find out what dramas are happening in my life, but never goes into her own.  To me her world stood still about 2 years ago.

 

The other weekend we'd been away, and the next day I put photos of our trip up on bebo.  I got a message on bebo from her straight away saying how she was waiting for me to put the pic's up of my trip!  So she'd been bebo stalking me all day waiting for my pics. She's really nosey, and obviously loves to see what my life is about, but rarely shares her own.  And I feel like I'm prying if I ask her any questions.

I think like other's have said let it die a natural death. I have had to do that with a girl as sad as it is sometimes friendship is jsut over we all change grow etc and move on. Texting is great , but so inpersonal in some way's too it sounds its a very onse sided friendship is she is not willing to share her life with you.

Yeah I think texting is great, especially since most of the time it's faster to text your friends to invite them over, instead of calling them and a) interrupting them, or b) not getting them home.  I text my friends to arrange coffee etc, but I don't have a full on conversation about my day, we talk about those things when we meet up.

 

The funny thing is, she never calls me, yet the times that I've been staying with her, she's always on the phone!  She talks to her other friends that way, and her mum.  She speaks to her dad everyday, if not 2 or 3 times a day.  But she can never call me.  I have called her in the past, but haven't for a while.  I've been really annoyed at her ever since she bailed on meeting up with me.  It really dawned on me then about how slack she is with our friendship.  Since that time, when she's mentioned about going to meet up with her other friend (which appears to be a weekly occurance, and she lives 1/2 an hr away from her) I start steaming and can't text her back in worry that my fingers will take over and insert of a lot of swear words in my reply text!  It upset me that she can travel to see her friend every week, yet the one time she could've met up with me after not seeing me for 11 months, she "couldn't".

 

Anyway..... all those feelings might take a while to die down, but time is a healer and we'll see where things take us with the texting taken out of the equation.
