I recently lost a very close friend due to gossip and rumours and most of the talk was not even all true. The stories were not about me but about my new boyfriend and my so called friend told me that she did not like my new boyfriend and this is how the rumours started. It has been a few months now and she recently wrote me a email to accept her on hi5. I declined. I would like to know what would you do

Obviously either you or that "friend" weren't capable of resolving the issue and that is really a shame if you indeed cared for that person and viceversa.
Wheter you or your friend did wrong by not talking or listening to each other, it takes two to communicate, if both of you had that missing I don't think you should've been considered friends in the beginning.
That's what I would've done ... you get my point?

Pride is good but depending what you're letting go it may not.
Communication is vital.

If she's your friend she should accept that your happy with your boyfriend which should make her happy as well. Maybe she is jealous of your happiness? Im not sure what i would do in this situation as I have never had the same situation as this. I would maybe try to talk to her about it and ask if she will accept the fact you are happy with him which she should accept as she's your friend. Is there a reason why she doesn't like him? Try to find out.

Lost a friend over gossip..........
Hello tashakau,
Hope you are doing well today. Well let me just say that real friends are not easy to come by. With having said that I have to wonder if your friend was a true friend or not? If she was a true friend, why would you let her go so easily simply because there is a man involved? If this would have happened to me I would be reluctant to take her back on as a friend too initially because when gossip is involved you never really know who really said what. So after giving it some thought I would probably just tell my friend, let's just forget about it and try to get along. Hope this helps.
