Should I tell our mutual friends my side of the breakup?
: I have been walking buddies with a neighbor for the last 12 years. We walk together about once a week.While I usually enjoy our time, there have been unsettling emotional outbursts from her, either crying or screaming about one thing or another.
The latest outburst happened as she was trying to tell me about something that was bothering her about a neighbor. I was unable to follow her train of thought, so I asked her for clarification more than once.I stopped in my tracks. I asked what was wrong with her. Again, she yelled that I was correcting her.I said, “I’m not.”Even if she does reach out now I think it will be too late. I have no problem ending this friendship now.
: If you want to keep this drama going, then, by all means, clarify your standing with mutual friends. She will not apologize, so you should stop expecting this. “I’m over it” might be the closest she can get. In addition to educating her about gratitude and cutting back on the abundance, I think these parents should take this child to meet children who have much less than she does.
