@Bioshock: Here's the thing, I tried repairing this. But in friendships, there are two sides. I literally asked them if they were okay, or if I upset them. They had told me no for a long time, that they just had a lot going on. So I told them I was there if they needed me, to just reach out. They said okay, but then accused me of being mad at them for not talking to them. I had work and school. I had very little time to do anything for myself. And any time I tried to talk to them, they'd essentially shut down the conversation. And this entire time, they were building this narrative that I had no idea was happening. And then used that to make an argument that had me to a point where, honestly... No, it's not worth it. As much as I enjoy this person, I can't have their home life being projected onto me (which they even admitted in messages during the argument.) and I can't apologize for something that isn't happening.
And this past situation that was dangled over, we'd gotten past. We were literally gaming together with friends and laughing and having fun... And then this comes out of nowhere.
It's healthier for both of us to just let this fizzle out. As much as I adore them, I don't think I'd ever let them back into my life. Not without a real sense of change from them. Because I tried. I really did. There was nothing more I could do on my end. :vanora_sad:
