Since I moved away my sister and I aren't as close and it troubles me

Question - (8 July 2013) 1 Answers - (Newest, 11 July 2013)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

kind of a relationship problem, my sister is my best friend, in april I moved out of state, 5 hours away. we used to be together all the time and if we weren't together we would be on the phone or texting. Well the day I moved she bail on me to come help me load the truck and then ignored my phone calls or text for 2 days. then everything was fine, we were talking/texting every couple days, when I would go visit it would be like i didn't move. Her now husband was in prison at the time and when I was down for the weekend I would go visit him with her. They got married a week and a half ago, but since I moved the only time we would talk was about the wedding. Now that the wedding is over we don't talk. She ignores my texts or calls or if we do talk it is short. I feel like because I moved I have lost my best friend. We even got in a big fight about this last weekend, and when I told her that I feel like we aren't as close her response was "maybe once we(her and her husband) get our own place we will skype." I don't get why living with our brother makes it hard to skype or even text. She skypes her husband's family all the time. am I being selfish for feeling this way? They cancelled plans on me this morning and it makes me think they are going to cancel coming up to visit in september. So I say something to her? if so what should I say? Thanks in advance

A female reader, Dorothy Dix Australia +, writes (11 July 2013):

Hi there. Why did you move away?

Was it to go to college or in any case, to further your education?

Or did you move for work?

And from what you say here, is your sister and her husband living with your brother?

It doesn't seem that your friendship with your sister would change, if you always got along so well before you moved.

There would seem to be no reason for that to happen.

And maybe, it has nothing to do with you moving 5 hours away from her.

Perhaps your sister is having problems in her marriage.

I guess it is possible, isn't it?

And if not problems there, well then maybe the situation of living with your brother is having it's own set of problems.

I mean, who knows?

What I am saying here, is that it may NOT be anything to do with you at all.
