This definitely hit home. We are exactly the same. In the last 18 months we have had the sum total of one relative visiting!!! She only comes when she visits her mum who is in a nursing home here. And then only if the other relative she visits is not going to be at home. She has been 3 times so far. No friends have visited. My sons one friend in Grantham has visited him every 8-10 weeks and his best friend has been about 3 times.
Like all you other ladies we go out of our way to be helpful, caring, considerate and thoughtful. So why can people not reciprocate.
We too keep ourselves to ourselves now. I have made friends with some ladies on the forum here but others that I started to be friends with have stopped keeping in touch now.
The world use to be a far more friendlier place where everyone was willing to help their fellow neighbours. We say hello to our neighbours and pass time of day if out gardening but that is it.
