Is it normal to feel insecure when dealing with unreliable friends?

I have a friend and we both have sons the same age and I like when they play together. But lately every time I ask her out or for a get together, she turns it down and says that she will come over during the week after work . . .So I wait and wait and the week goes by and she doesn't come over. She is planning to get married in April so I know she is busy with planning etc. but this happens every time lately. She doesn't even call to say she is not coming over when I expect her to come over. When I try to call her cell phone, I never can get through. It feels like a struggle to meet up and yet I know I am invited to the wedding. I don't know. Part of me feels like I should wait after she is married and the stress has passed but a part of me feels like I should tell her that if she can't make it over, she should at least call. And apart of me feels like it is somehow me and she doesn't want to be my friend and this is her way of telling me that. For my son's birthday, she and her son came over to the party but she didn't even bring him a gift. She apologized and said she was busy and didn't have time to go shopping, which she was I am sure but even after that, she could have come back with one on another occasion but instead she doesn't and she makes plans but doesn't follow through. Does she even want me at the wedding? Maybe she is trying to get me to cancel on her and not come.

    Yeah I think the wedding plans are a priority for her and understandably this is a once a lifetime (one hopes) event she will experience.

    Yeah I would probably wait till the wedding bells stop ringing and let her settle into a routine.

    Ask her, not us. If she's always been unreliable that's just how she is, if it's only since wedding plans began maybe that's all it is, except I can't imagine why organising a wedding 4 months off would take up all her attention

    It's you. You're needy.

    You must stop making everyone around responsible for your self-esteem. If you don't, you're always going to feel this way with everyone, including your son when he grows up. Go to therapy, build up your self-esteem and confidence. Once you do that, go make new friends.
