I honestly thought I could trust her


Question Posted Wednesday February 1 2006, 8:44 pm

My bestfriend and I used to have a wonderful friendship. Well recently she has done something to really make me question our friendship. I told her to go to the nurse for me to get some pads( i didnt want to do it because i've been there more then two times already) and I did the same for her a couple of months back. But she told the nurse that they were for me, eventhough i specifically told her not to put my name in it. So we got in a big argument over it. So later that day we had track practice. And i really needed the pads but she wouldn't give them to me. Fortunately I got them from someone else. But the fact that she was willing to let me just leak at practice really made me question our friendship. I need some guidance. I don't know what to do from here. Should I stay with her as a best friend? What should I do about the situation?

I have had a lot of problems with my best friends. Some have been like your problem. I say make up with her, but maybe not ask her to do things like that anymore. Something like that isn't used to lose a whole friendship over, trust me.

Well, I kind of have to question your action. Your friend went and got pads for you and you got upset because she told the nurses that they were for you?

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the big deal about it. She was kind enough to help you in a emergency, and you fought with her over that? I mean, do the nurses not allow you to get pads more than twice? And if the pads were costing you money, they'd give you as many as you needed and ask you to pay them back.

So, my next guess would be that you felt embarrased about the nurses knowing that you were on your period? I really don't understand what the big deal was. What I really think is that you overreacted. Not only because you got upset over something small, but your friend went out of her way to help you and that wasn't enough for you. Every girl gets their period, every girl does. So the nurses understand that obviously that you had an emergency.

You are right about what your friend did by not giving the pads to you. It was wrong even though you guys were in a fight. I think you both owe each other an apology. Tell your friend that you greatly appreciated her getting pads for you, but you realize that you overreacted, and I hope you do realize it, unless there is something in your story that you failed to add. Tell her that the arguement that got started wasn't worth the friendship being broken. And ok, maybe she was pretty rude to mention your name even though you asked her not to. Tell her that it made you feel upset when she did it, don't yell and start fighting.

And tell her that you know you were wrong on your part, but you really needed those pads at track practice, and you feel that she would have rather let you leak than jut being mature and giving the pads that she went out and got for you.
