OK, I have a close family member who I hit it off with very well.
anywho, she is very busy with her career,house, 2 kids, etc...so I do not expect to be contacted daily or weekly...but we at least would touch base every month, well...I havent heard peep since the Summer of 2015...@june or july...
I called, left messages,and NOTHING!!!
I heard she recently cam<snip>e to visit family 2 hours from me..and I didnt take offense because I know she is on time restrictions, but NOTHING...I am beginning to think I am being ignored but I hate to think that, and then I wonder what did I do? It is just so odd to me.
When I mentioned it to my mother she said "shes busy"...
But isnt 6 months a really long time to go without responding?

Reason: no FB posts. See sticky post atop the forum

Not that interested IMO. Nobody is too busy for sending a short message here and there.
People make time for those who are priorities in their lives. If they aren't trying to see you or are not responding favorably when you contact them, then they're not interested in a relationship with you, even though you're family.
This has happened in my family, starting at least 1 generation back. There are cousins I've never met, others I haven't seen in a few years and who have zero interest in maintaining a relationship even though I reached out to come visit. It's sad, but you can't force relationships where there aren't willing participants.
You hit it off? So what? As a busy person myself, I would say that hitting it off with someone isn’t enough. You had a conversation or two that was fun – big whoop. Someone who has a full life has a lot more on their plate than those who don’t have as full a life can imagine. Having a good time for a couple of hrs does not a relationship make.
So again, as a busy person I would also say...don’t take it personally.
This is a close family member, not a casual friend...
But yes, life goes on!
