Question Posted Saturday September 9 2006, 2:12 am
My best friend told me a secret, and he told me not to tell anybody. It was about his ex. I didn't think it would be a big deal, so I told her, because we are so so so close.
and he got really mad at me.
and I really miss him. We havent spoken since.
what can I do or say to make it up to him?
I know it is my fault and I feel terrible about it.
angie91 answered Saturday September 9 2006, 11:25 pm: apologize untill he says its okay. everytime you see him apologize. He wont say its okay but you did a bad thing he's punishing you. apologize somemore. just keep at it. eventually he'll forgive you. you sound like you are really upset. and im sure one day he'll realize that. just keep it up. good luck let me know what happens [ angie91's advice column | Ask angie91 A Question ]

Well right now your friend is pretty upset since he probably didn't expect this stuff to get back to his ex and he trusted you. By telling his ex you probably just wanted to make things right between them again and if you had another intention I'm hoping it was for their best interests.
First of all I would probably apologize to him and have a really long talk with him which I know is harder then it sounds but you want your friendship back with both of them right? Tell him that you were just trying to help because it hurts to see two of your best friends having tough feelings about eachother and you just wanted everything to be back to normal. Right? :-). Then apologize for telling his ex what he said and say that it was wrong of you because now your best friend doesn't even trust you.
I know that you were just out for everyone's best interests and you are doing the right thing so give yourself a pat on the back and I really hope this will work my friend! Please send me a message I feedback too, I would really appreciate it! :-).

the first part of this is admitting you were wrong
the next is going to take time. call your friend and tell himthat your sorry, then give it time if he wants your friendship back then hell come back if he doesny want it back then dont worry about it.
good luck anf from now on keep your secrets. [ lusingrip101's advice column | Ask lusingrip101 A Question ]
