Ditto - one of my friends have been my rock and this process has made us closer, on the other hand my close friend that i have known forever i havent seen since last year when i told her we was doing the move, she just wont talk to me, so i have moved on :curse:

Same with hubby his mate havent seen him for a few months since we came back with the job offer, some people you will never please, but i would put your cards on the table and let her decide, but you have a lovely family and get to that new life ASAP, you have your extended friends here

Rang her in the morning to see what time I could go over and she was having a sleep in the garden and had left instructions with her daughter that she was tired and not to wake her

I have moved around the UK quite a bit and now I am in BC. I have found that you can't accurately predict who will stay a friend and who will forget you and move on, there have always been surprises. A true friend will always be a true friend, and it is often hard if you have expectations of friendship which are not being met.
If you have tried to make a move and been rejected three times then leave it. Once is acceptable, twice is coincidence, three times is deliberate. After that, don't chase people. Give her time to think and let her come to you. Either she will or she won't and leave it at that or you will be adding stress at a time when you have enough to think about.
I wish you luck in your journey.

It maybe lonley at times especially till you make friends over here (which you will Canadians are a very friendly bunch) but you also have to think on the positive and what an elite club your joining! You stood up and said I dont like the cards I was dealt and actually had the balls to do something about it and do what most dream about - Live your life rather than wasting it and being stuck with the other rats in a place your not happy!

Its a wonderful adventure enjoy it!

I feel for you (the OP) but I think your friend is being very selfish! I know from personal experience that you really find out who your friends (and family) are when you emigrate (or try and not get there as we did)

If your friend thinks that much of you she shouldn't be pi**ing around and wasting what little time you have left together before you leave. I don't think you're being hard, you're entitled to make your own choices. When we were planning to emigrate to Canada we found several friends dropped us, so we tended to think 'stuff 'em' to put it honest. I'd rather have a couple of real friends than loads of acquaintances. To this day we are estranged from family members who didn't agree with what we wanted to do. You will always find that some people will try and hold you back for their own selfish reasons.

Emigration is an adventure, all the best to you. I hope I don't sound too harsh, I don't mean to be but my experience made me see the negative side of people I thought I knew
