A Snubbing?

And this came across my emails this week! I wonder how many people have dealt with this type of siutation?

Dear Lady Hooper-Brackett,

I think we’ve been snubbed. We have not heard from a certain couple for about 8 months. Our last contact was us extending an invitation to dinner to which they attended. But we have not heard a peep! Should we reach out to them? 

Appalled and Confused. 

Dear Appalled and Confused, 

By all means yes, make one last attempt. You don’t know if there has been an illness or other occurrence that kept them from communicating. 

If nothing has occurred but you sense coolness from them, so be it. 

But the petering out of your friendship will not have been caused by you.
