Reconciliation can happen. Yes, sometimes it takes time to get back on track, othertimes not so much.<br /><br />I've had a friendship end that I still am really not over, and yet I would never go back. Not because I lack forgiveness (I have forgiven) but bc the relationship was unhealthy.<br /><br />You obviously care about the friend and the friendship, so I wish you the best of luck. I hope this past situation with you two will help to bring you closer together.<br /><br />Real, deep, true friendships are worth the world. But I think you already know that.Indisposable Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398856132778875840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187472811926010171.post-90481761681268270302012-05-22T16:43:21.513-04:002012-05-22T16:43:21.513-04:00Aubrey - HA!

I reunited with an ex friend a few ye...Hey Jackie,<br /><br />I reunited with an ex friend a few years back now, 7 years after we had cut each other out of our lives.<br /><br />At first I was really happy about it, and she seemed to be happy too, but given time all of the horrible things she used to do to me started happening again.. little things at first, but in the end she was just as bad as she was when we were still 13.<br /><br />Do I regret letting her back into my life? Yes and no. In a way I am glad I did because now I know it was never my fault that the friendship ended badly the first time, but on the other hand I do regret it because we're now in that awkward stage of not seeing or even speaking to one another and yet we're still "facebook friends". I just wish I had the balls to delete her, but then to delete her without saying anything to her first just seems too immature. :(<br /><br />Hopefully things work out better for you and your friend.<br />xxFelicity // Pursuit of Felicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15216398392848509394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187472811926010171.post-37299051678507514852012-05-21T19:32:23.297-04:002012-05-21T19:32:23.297-04:00Don't be ashamed. I know I'll sound like ...Don't be ashamed. I know I'll sound like an asshat for saying this, but hey, that's never stopped me, so... the guy's a republican. Maybe you won't want to be that close to him anyway.

You met him?
Spingoddess - He's no...Eva - Yes. You met him?<br /><br />Spingoddess - He's not so much knocking... I think it's more of a gentle tapping. I'm not sure if it will lead to anything, but the door is open. I can't say that I've been hurt like you have in reaching out, and I'm sorry that that's the case :(, but I admit to being a touch ashamed of myself for <i>not</i> reaching out. <br /><br />Double edged sword, as ever.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766428135326806244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187472811926010171.post-38242186022386665032012-05-21T17:21:48.214-04:002012-05-21T17:21:48.214-04:00Jackie, I've lost a friend like this, and I...Jackie, I've lost a friend like this, and I've even lost my brother like this. I haven't reconciled with either, so maybe I'm the wrong person to be responding. But over the years of hurting so much it physically hurt at times, I decided that I will always leave my door open to either of them, while at the same time, I will not be the first to knock on theirs. I've knocked before and been rebuffed, and I am done being a doormat.<br /><br />So your ex-friend is knocking on your door, and you want to open it. Go ahead! What's the worst that can happen, that it will close again?Spingoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14482189450174108003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187472811926010171.post-89918041439216259532012-05-21T16:22:50.087-04:002012-05-21T16:22:50.087-04:00I lost my best friend of 7 years literally the day...I lost my best friend of 7 years literally the day we graduated. No phone calls & never to be heard from again, with the exception of an awkward run in at Panera that summer. The friendship had been a slippery slope for over a year so it wasn't entirely unexpected, but it still ripped me to the core. And now there's the awkwardness of Facebook and our mutual friends ("Would you like to be friends with this person?") that threatens to swallow me up but then I realize we're two different people now. Me, for the better. And who knows about her. I've moved on from it, I guess you can say. Doesn't mean you have to let go of the memories.<br /><br />Is this the curly headed boy?<br /><br /><br />EEvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029023846436950675noreply@blogger.com
