I have a christian friend who lives in another state. My husband and I lead her to the Lord and she has been my friend for over 15 years now.
We speak on the phone and message each other but have not met each other IRL.
I've come to notice that she never reads my messages and she also doesn't allow me to share
my stories for the week or my struggles.
If we are talking on the phone, I like to listen to what she has to say, but when I go to share something of my life
she says, "She has to go" or "she has to go and give her daughter her medication".
I have sent messages to her ad told her some things that are going on, some of them in my life have been challenging.
I was talking to her on the phone yesterday and I go to share about some things happening for me and remind her that I sent the message
and she says she doesn't know anything about it.
She could send me a message and we could be chatting
and I will chat about something but it gets ignored.
I find the relationship is very much one-sided and it's all about her but I don't want to end the relationship
as she has only been a christian for about 8 years and I find I need to continue encouraging her.
But I would like for her to be interested in my life as well, or am I being selfish?
Thanks in advance.
I also make this a matter of prayer.
