Question Posted Wednesday September 3 2008, 3:28 pm
okay, where to start... my best friend won't talk to me because she goes to this band thing, and when she was there, she kinda snogged this guy, but she has a nearly boyfriend here (band was away) but then when her nearly boyfriend tricked me into telling him that she went woth this other guy. so i told my best friend that i had accidently told her nearly boyfriend she freaked and hasnt spoken to me since... anyway my question is, how do i approach her?

You have to see it from the boyfriend's perspective. Imagine what it would have been like if he didn't know his girlfriend, someone he trusted a lot with, was cheating on him. Imagine if it was you. How would you feel if you didn't know and no one wanted to tell you because they thought you weren't worth the truth. Good or bad.
As far as talking to her goes, Just be nice to her. If you have a class together, just get her a paper or something like that. Give her a pencil when she mentions to someone that she doesn't have one.
If she doesn't respect that, then she really is self absorbed. Only people that would cheat honestly are because there is no reason to cheat because when you're not happy, you break it off with the person anyway. But when you DO cheat, you're not thinking about how the other person feels, at all, none whatsoever.

You messed up and gossiped about a friend. That isn't cool, but you didn't do it out of a mean-spirit, just a mistake. Explain that, and hope you friend is mature enough to accept that explaination (and perhaps deep-down she'll realize she isn't completely blameless in this situation either.)
