As it turns out, A chose not to bring up money at all in her email back to me, so now I feel like sort of a b*tch for assuming that she would stoop so low. I ran the whole exchange by another friend (the A that I usually write about, actually) and she pointed out that A is not going to ever give me what I want – which is a no excuses apology – so I need to either accept the apology she did give and get over it or sack the friendship. That really put the whole thing in perspective, and I’m choosing to just get over it. I wrote her an email today where I basically said that I don’t think that she and I will ever see eye to eye about the birthday/text message apology thing, and that at this point we just need to agree to disagree. It’s weird, because I usually get over things really quickly but for some reason this is just really gnawing at me. I think it’s because I really, really don’t see where she’s coming from and I just don’t understand how she could possibly try to justify her behavior, rather than just apologizing. We’ll see how the friendship fares; I don’t know how able I am to put in the effort to be friends with someone who won’t own up to mistakes.
