Greg25 Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Today I had a terrible argument with a close friend of mine. She lives in another city, so we keep in touch by emails. Things were going fairly smoothly between us until about a week ago when she and her partner broke up for the second time. I offered to be there as a friend and she could talk about things if she wanted. We did have a discussion and at one point she showed me some correspondence she had with her ex-partner and asked for my opinion. I gave my honest opinion to her and she wrote back not long after telling me a remark I had made had deeply hurt her. She felt as if I had judged her quite harshly and had hurt her feelings. I wrote back saying this was not my intention but the damage was done. We had had a bad fight and I no longer feel like talking to her. Has anyone else been through a similar experience? What did you do to reconcile or cope with the situation? I don't want to lose my friendship with this woman because we've been quite close and I value our friendship.
whichwayisup Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Do you talk to her on the phone too, or just through emails? I suggest writing her back, tell her you feel awful and didn't mean to hurt her. Tell her that you care alot about her and how much the friendship means to you, and how much good she's brought into your life and also you need her in your life. Hopefully speaking from the heart, she'll see how sincere you are and things will be okay again.
