Default Friends an the move

I too experienced this phenomenon. One close friend in particular wouldn’t let up in his criticism of my impending move. I told him nicely to stop it. The very next time we were together he made another comment! We are no longer friends! A “I think you are making a mistake but wish you the best” would have been appreciated but was never received. I share your disappointment!
QUOTE=Michael 61;2161076]I’m just 9 days away from my move from Colorado until I close on my new home in TV. I’m a little surprised I am receiving some guilt trips (both passive and a few very direct) from long time close friends about leaving Colorado. There is a sense of betrayal and disloyalty I am receiving from more friends than I though I would. This is zapping a little bit of my joy and excitement of moving to the TV next week - although I knew they would be saddened (I am too), I thought they would be more supportive of my move, and of course I have a guest room for friends to visit, and will be flying back to Colorado a few times a year to visit them and spend Thanksgiving. Would like to hear any comments from those of you, and how you handled the move away from friends to TV.[/QUOTE]
