I had a big fight with my best friend (Or 'ex best friend'...?) and she said she was done. We've had fights like this before, but it felt different. Well she said a lot of stuff, including that she's done with me and our friendship.
Well, about 2 days later, she texts me and says she's sorry. It seemed kind of weird. She said that she really honestly is sorry and that she didn't mean it, but can I trust this? She means a LOT to me and I've kind of been sad these past few days, but what if it's a trick?
You do have every right to feel the way you do. There's nothing wrong with your feelings. I mean she said awful things and hurt your feelings. She might genuinely be sorry, you'll never really know unless you give her a chance.
But I also suggest giving it some time until you feel a little better. You can let her know that she means a lot to you but you still need some time. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

You can tell her that you can't accept her apology right now. That you feel let down and that you need some time. When you are ready you will let her know. Then take it day by day.
When you are ready talk to her and let me know how you feel.
soph0900 answered Sunday April 6 2014, 11:24 am: Pretty Simple- she probably is sorry, and since you're best friends, you should take her back, try to trust her.
HOWEVER,
Whatever it was you were fighting about, simply don't trust her with it, until she proves she can be trusted. Be friends, but keep your eye out for tricks. Of course, being the bigger person would to genuinely be sorry and forget the whole thing.(you need to be that person, but don't be a doormat either)
Doesn't mean you can't be friends though. I've got friends who I certainly wouldn't trust with secrets for example, but it doesn't mean were not friends.
