because of paranoia about losing friends
One of my very good friends is the sister of my recent ex (aka Cunty McFuckbollix). I was friends with her long before I got together with him. I shared a flat with her for 4 years. Unfortunately, the whole being-with-her-brother thing seems to have fucked up the friendship. She and I were due to go out for dinner tomorrow night. She texted me this morning to raincheck it. This is the 4th time in a row she's done this. I think maybe I'm supposed to take the hint. I miss her more than I'll ever miss him.

This is horrible.
Losing friends I still care about makes me feel anxious and upset.

That's a pisser :(
Any way you can sit her down for a chat and straighten things out?

Obviously, she could raincheck it...

I find
that repeated pestering will result in one of two things. Either she will make time for you, or she'll eventually come out and say that she doesn't want to see you. Which will then give you a clear idea of what to do.

Also: *hug*

Send her a letter or text or something
that says just that. You'll miss her a lot more than you'll ever miss him. If that doesn't elicit a response then you've lost her I'm afraid.

Or, send her a picture of your fanny
and a note saying, when I'm not with you this feels all dry and lonely.
