How can I tell

[Shar]

my best friend, who I lived next door to all my life, that I'm moving house without being insensitive?
I'm moving around 30 minutes away from her so I won't be seeing her as much and yeah its going to suck so how do I tell her :(

Act as if you really don't want to move but you have no choice, this is because your parents are saying it's for the best. Then just say how weird or sad it will be not living next door anymore and you will miss her etc.

make sure you promise to meet up more often and see eachother as much as possible, tell her its only 30 minutes away and you will spend time together still!

Well you will have to tell her put it this way, because if you don't and then she finds a removal van outside or that you have left then surely that friendship isn't as good as it seems, if you get me.

However, if you are honest and just come clean she will understand, suggest to her you can still speak via e-mail or social network sites, like penpals. And tell her you will come see her whenever possible.

no point getting stressted over something you can't help

just tell her that you're moving house - not too far away - and that you'll still talk as often as you do now (even if that's not true)

if she's a true friend she'll just have to accept that

Just be truthful, its not like you are moving to the other side of the world & 30 minutes isn't that far away so you can still meet up with her.

You'll still be able to get in touch through; email, text, phone calls, msn, facebook, twitter (if you have them).

tell her straight, there's no point pretending you'll be able to see eachother as much as possible, just deep breath + tell her.

if she's a true friend, she'll be able to accept that rather than kick off / lose you all together.

hope it goes well :) x

Lol she's like a prisoner in her own home, she's not allowed much :(:(:(

Thanks for all your advice, I've told her now. It was kind of hard as I have lived next door to her all my life and we've been friends that long :(

How did she take it?
Its only 30mins away, its not that far, as someone said; if she was a true friend then she'd accept it.

Have fun in your new home :P

Lol read my above post :P She's not allowed out much unfortunately, and her parents have a heart attack if she's even out for less than 1 hour which really sucks.
She was quite upset, and its not about the distance really, we were just used to going to each other's houses at crazy hours just to talk and borrow stuff..so yeah it sucks :(

My mate moved to America. He told me 3 days before. We still talk regularly, and we have each other on Facebook ect. This is on a much smaller scale, so basically just say that you're moving 30 mins away, you still want to be friends, to talk and meet up, get her MSN or w/e and if she's a good friend she'll accept it.
