reconciliation needed

I have an issue with my colleague/fellow covenantal/best friend @ work.

I sensed that the distance between us is further this year. I have no idea why. I can fanthom a few guesses but I really wouldn't know till I ask her. And I will, soon, because I don't like the uneasy feeling inside of me. It's just irkish. I need to resolve this. Yes, I do need to resolve conflicts and situations when I am ready to do that in a non-aggressive way.

So why?

She might be disappointed with me that I have not been spending as much time hearing her out because our free periods clash and we don't see other at the staff room that much?

She takes an interest in my life yet I can't reveal more to her about what I do with my time and she is sad that I am being too private and not sharing my life with her. How to? When she makes fun of ," Yeeks. I am not a lesbian. I am married" statements. Her mind is very straight. Just one way. I can't share with her, as yet.

She is at her sexual peak @ 36-38 years old and she can't share with a single, unmarried woman like me about her desire for more sex?

I took over her as the English Level Rep and though she is supposed to assist me, she might be pissed that she is doing more than she should because she is super efficient?

I gave her slightly more duties than the rest (I only realised it a week ago though the duty list was given out a month ago) for Graduation Night since she is not going to be around on the actual day to handle the situation. I only realised that she is aware of that when I saw the expression on her face when I asked her," Why didn't you bring it up to me?" and she replied that she thought I was punishing her for not being around on the actual day. Sigh. Must talk. Should not keep inside, and worse, tell outside.

She has been too busy because her son was taking the PSLE this year, and she has this course and this duty and that duty and assignments to hand in.

So many reasons.

I always see her as a role model for me to follow in terms of her dedication to work and her students, as well as her effectiveness as a teacher and her efficiency as a worker. She's the superwoman. However, I do think she needs to work on what is inside. She needs to learn to hold her tongue, she needs to be reminded that God is her help, refuge and security and that she need not have to prove anything to anyone, that she need not feel threatened nor insecure because she is pleasing God when she does the things she does, not men.

Though I am not able to give as much time to our friendship even after the talk, I do wish to find out what is wrong and at least not have that distance between us.

Please pray for wisdom for me in handling this situation. Her name is Anne. Thanks.
