Hi Sarah,

It seems as though you how outgrown your friends and moving forward in your own personal life, which is a great thing.

Your friend must understand at some point this situation was bound it happen, that you would not stay single forever. You have to explain in the kindest possible way that circumstances have changed for you and that your no longer able to accommodate her needs when she returns from her travels.

If she is your true friend even though she seems to be taking advantage of your kindness, she will completely understand.

Set yourself some boundaries when it comes to friendships and what they expect from you.

Sometimes in life you need to put your self and well being first, you should not feel bad for moving forward often people are glad to see you sitting behind as its beneficial for them.

As for your other friend, I suggest you try and distance yourself as much as possible, avoid pointless conversations and meetings. I am sure at some point she will realize you can no longer provide the services she requires. Eventually you won’t need that umbrella.

Don’t be afraid of making changes in your life, sometimes they work out to be the best thing you ever did. Removing bad energy can only make room for good energy to enter.

I hope you put yourself first this time, you are a good person, you are allowed to be free and happy.

Love B X
