| Adapted from online discussions. Hi, Carolyn: One of my dearest friends has decided to cut ties. I was venting about work. She said something super mean, and I told her she hurt my feelings. That was eight months ago. She has not answered texts or calls. This is a person who officiated my wedding and hosted my baby shower, but also in 30 years has never once apologized for anything. She did this once before and came around after a year of silence. This time I am super mad and hurt. I do expect to run into her at some point, or for her to pop back up like nothing has happened. I know (from your past columns) that it is up to me whether to let her back into my life if she does this. But how do I get over the tremendous hurt and decide whether I have had enough? She has a very special place in my life, but at this point I am also just hurt. — Ghosted by a Friend |
