Blubell, thanks for sharing. I get it.
My friend can be nice or obviously I would have completely backed out years ago. The nice, sweet part draws me back. The little, purposeful digs have accumulated. Again, this is not a spacey person. Everything she says is carefully planned. I have said things I am sorry about and I say I am sorry. This friend does not ever back off from anything she says. I asked her about these words and I cant remember what she said, but she didnt see anything wrong with it. That much I do remember. At least, she did not back off or say "Im sorry" in any way. But in our long term friendship, mostly long distance, she never says she is sorry for anything.
I am so done with those who are unable to own their part in a relationship and their flaws in it. Why is "I am sorry if I hurt you" so hard for some people?
Anyway, I have never wanted a slew of friends because of these issues. I had two extremely close friends. One passed on. I miss her still. We were so close. In twenty years we never had an argument. We were like sisters should be. Another long term friend....we had a few tiffs that didnt last long, then we would cry and hug and it would be over. We owned our parts in the few tiffs we had.
My friend likes to use my mood disorder and turn it into more (shrug). Whatever. She has a lot of obvious mental health issues, but has never been diagnosed.
Anyway, have to get ready for work!! It is 90 and humid today! Ugh! I hope everyone has a great day and less humidity than we do. Thank you all.
