Sweetie, this sounds TOOOO familiar to me! Are you sure we don't have the same friend?
I finally lost her. Okay, in reality SHE lost ME. She meant the world to me, but after 15 years of maintaining a one-sided friendship, I had to let her go. Looking back on it now, I don't think she ever really wanted a friendship with me to begin with; I think I pushed myself on her. And I think that's what hurts me the most, that I would make anyone suffer like that!
I have to move on, which I'm having problems doing, but thankfully I have Barbie to help me through it. As Barbie said, "Just put her on the shelf for now; you can take her down later if necessary."
I know my friend is on that shelf, together with her pictures and things she's given me, but this time I know she'll stay there; I'll never take her down.
Good luck with your friend, Rache, and remember that if it's too painful to maintain the one-way relationship, there's always that shelf....
