On the topic of "should a friend check in with me as much as I check in with them?":

"Friend" is an incredibly versatile term & varies wildly by who's using it and what they're describing

I have friends who I haven't talked to for a decade but I went to lunch with this week & it was like no time had passed

And people who I've cared about & talked to daily who've decided they don't want to be friends any more, sometimes for good reasons that were nobody's fault - and I've been that person too
