A question of what to do..

[Dax]

Some may remember my post of a few months back about my best friend of 8+yrs breaking up with me over email/FB posts...if not..HEREis the post...


Well out of the blue on Saturday night I got a message on FB from her, with a title of Early Happy Birthday and I am sorry for everything. Basically she said she handled the whole thing very wrong and feels terrible about it. She knows that she hurt and upset me, and does not expect to be forgiven, but she needed to apologize.

She said that she did not know how to handle issues she was having, and instead of being up front about it, she just blew up, and possibly ruined a great friendship.

We talked back and forth, and right now, we FB friends again. DH honestly is staying back, he is not so easy to forgive, plus he was upset because I was hurt so bad. my DH! He also has made the suggestion that all 4 of us go to Thanksgiving dinner at Chef Mickeys as planned. He wants to, and so do they..

I am kinda on the fence about it right now, taking it slow, and cautious. I do not want to be hurt again..am I doing the right thing?

It was great of your friend to apologize-that isn't something a lot of people would do. This makes me think that she does value your friendship. I agree with your husband about meeting them for Thanksgiving. In the meantime, don't invest a lot of emotion into the friendship until you feel reassured.

She admitted she was wrong, and she apologized for it. Yes, I would definitely give her a second chance.

Go - let me say from experience FB is not a good forum to discuss anything but frivolous junk.

My BF & I had issues over his brother thinking I was slamming him(my BF) it took many phone calls and dinner to straighten out a stupid misinterpretation of a remark I made.

So go, talk like adults, and air it out. I am sure it will work itself out, remember we all do things in stress or times of trouble we regret. At least she is able to man up and apaologize and try to work it out - like a real adult would.
