A very good friend of mine and I got in a huge fight while I was on vacation in Florida. We both said some very harsh things to each other. I am really starting to miss him and our conversations when we were talking. We haven't talked in weeks and I have been depressed since we stopped talking. Should we "kiss" and make up or just keep going the way we are?

Never stay mad at someone if there isn't a good reason. Send an olive branch. wave

Life is too short. Its a cliche, but very true.

Depends a bit on what you fell out about, but generally nothing is worth breaking a friendship up for.

Be strong, make the first move, and heal the rift.

Good luck!!thumbs up

I lost a good friend of 25 years this way...and when I tried to make up, she ignored me. I would say try, hope he responds in kind, and if not then you have to let him go. It's not easy, but he might only have been in your life for a reason or a season and it might be time for it to end.

Believe me, it wasn't easy for me to let go of that friendship after so long...but I couldn't make her respond to me and heal the wound. But I had to try, just as you do.

Good luck. hug bouquet

What happened was, he called me overbearing because I would sometimes text him and ask how his day was. It really hurt me because I was just trying to be a good friend.

How often did you text him like that, though?

None of us were involved, so we'll never know the whole truth of it all...but again, try to make up and if he doesn't allow it, or isn't interested in doing so, let it go and move on. It means the friendship wasn't real or is over. Been there, and it's hard...but it happens.

hug I'm sorry that you have been hurt, though.

I go by this.

If words have been exchanged that are harsh, and one is accusing the other of being in the wrong, and that one is in the wrong, the simple way is to say, 'I messed up and what can I do to put it right'

One of the hardest words in life is sorry. SImply because people use it so loosely.

But if you offer that and are not given a chance to repair anything, then you can do no more.

I have had friends for most of my life and over the years we have had our differences, I love them and would not be without them and as any relationship, it takes alot of patience to endure other people, some are easy and some are not, but there is not one of my closest friends, and there are a handful, true friends, that know me, who would not allow me not to repair some damage I caused.

Part of life I am afraid, falling out, but it is how the damage is repaired which is the real test...

Something I teach along with a subject to my students.

Tell him you are sorry, if you are.

And see how he responds, don't expect him to know, that you were trying to be a good friend.

If he is a good friend, then you would not have to try, you just would be.

Tell him you're sorry(if you are). If he is really your friend he will understand you said things out of anger. He will speak to you again if you're friends.
