Overly needy friend

Posted by Sonya on August 24, 2005, at 14:56:47

I made a friend in the hospital last year. Her friendship is important to me as we provide mutual support with our mental health and life issues. Since we've become friends, we get together on the average of once every couple of weeks, but if it were up to her it would be every week. How do I tactfully decline seeing her as often as she wants to see me? I want to be friends, but I often feel "crowded" by her. She's told me she doesn't have many other friends and is often lonely (she's single). I hate turning her down so frequently, but I have my husband, other family members and other friends whom I need to be with, too.

Any advice?
