TG = Thank God.
Dunno, paid £1.69 for these mozzarella cheese crouette thangs, you only get 4 and they were horrid and tasteless, we got 3 lots and we all only had one each! so that was a complete waste of money!

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Ed.

Think carefully. WAS the friendship strong enough to withstand a mistake on their part? If it was the first time this has happened and they are genuinely sorry, I would be inclined to forgive and try to salvage something of what was once so good between you.
On the other hand, I am too long in the tooth to bother being a sap and can be quite ruthless these days.
I guess, the friendship can only survive if you are able to let go of the past completely and start over.
If you dont forgive 100% it will come back and bite you on the bum at the first opportunity and you will end up feeling used and your friendship abused.

Even bestest bosum buddy pals shouldn't be joined at the hip. You need to allow one another space for sometimes having something/someone else at the top of their list of priorities.
If you sink everything you;ve got emotionally into one thing, be it a friendship/relationship/job etc. when it moves out of your immediate realm it can leave you feeling cheated and bereft.
Not sure if all that warble applies to what you are saying though?

unfortunately some people can only be friends when they are 'needy' or the opposite, fairweather friends.
to be best buddies, or even just friends, it has to be a balanced two way street.
Especially if you like your own company at times but the other person expects you to provide them with company when they demand it...thats not an equal partnership.

With certain friends I get "But, you're doing nothing and I'm bored/need you!!" Well, thats what they mean, if I say sorry cant see you today I plan to chill out by myself and read a good book etc.

I hear you Red.

The person who I would call my best friend who lives locally she and I understand and accept one another when one of us says "not today".
Yes, I have very few real friends, but they are all like me, relative loners who like their own space.
Luckily, it works. Mostly. When I 'need' a friend but they are not available, yes i do have online friends or just get on with my own life and cope alone.
