Question Posted Thursday December 4 2008, 10:57 pm
My friend send me a text saying we can't no longer be friends. We were the best of friends, confide in one another with our problems and issues. I depended on her and she knew she could count on me. This is what apparently did it for her:
She invited me to her bff's wedding and I told her I would go. She emailed me info on the wedding but when I replied she didnt' respond. I got really sick for 3 days and didn't call her nor did she. Then came Thanksgiving and the day after she text me "you should have told me you couldn't make it to the wedding" the event was a day after Thanksgiving. I replied what are you talking about you didn't call me to confirm. She then said we could no longer be friends.........
She holds against me that she didn't make it to her bff's wedding. I mean if you invite someone to a special event isn't it that person's responsibility to follow up and plan things out? I did say I would go but got really sick and since she didn't call I didn't know what was going on..............
She also holds against me her bday. We were suppose to celebrate it at a club and when I text her (a few minutes before we left) if my friend could go she wrote "go with her & take care" I text her back "nah it's your bday" she kept saying "no go and have fun" I did go and she holds that against me.............

You BOTH could have done something. Drop the birthday thing. Who cares, is she 3?! ANyway, if you really want her as a friend, regardless of wether or not you think shes wrong apologize. For everything including the birthday party thing. JUst be like i was being a bad friend when that happend and i'm sorry admit your at fault, even if your not.
