After decades apart, a college friend has reconnected — do I have to meet her?
A college friend who lost touch more than 35 years ago has reached out after moving to the Midwest and regularly visiting family nearby; the writer is unsure whether she has to meet her.
DEAR ABBY: I had three close girlfriends in college. We lost touch with one of them more than 35 years ago. She has family in our area but moved to the Midwest and stopped communicating with us, though she regularly visits family nearby.
Over the years, I got a new job, married, had two kids, divorced, moved and retired. This friend has recently gotten back in touch. I don’t know what prompted it. I have friends who have supported me all my life and deserve my attention.
