Actually the tif-off happened a little bit when i left that city. I came back to my own city in a new job. Last week we had chat. he suddenly told me he may go to onsite for a period of 2 years. I asked him when are you going. I understood he knew the date but after some persuation told me, i don't know. Actually that day another friend already told me that he is going this month to onsite and it is confirmed.I felt hurt as he was telling me lies. Also I told him, its Ok if u don't want to say me. At this very rudely he told me i don't like your attitude.From that day i stopped taking to him. Next day he pinged me I did not replied. again after 20-3 days he pinged me.Then also i did not replied. Today again he pinged and i thought its better to tell him why I think he should not keep contact with me. Its may be I am hurting his attitude that he boost upon.He tried to tell his points and kept on blaimimg me. I have decided that how hurting it may be, will not keep any contact with him. What do u think? Have I done right? Share your opinion.

Hello subha12 Everyone has their own view point .. neither you communicated well nor he did .. and when he was your best friend then u can talk to him clearly what bothered you the most and what u didn't liked in his behaviour .. Silence has no language .. but may be if u think it's for the good then again it's your view point.

I guess it is some lovers' tiff. I am not taking sides or saying who is right or wrong. Let's be objective and analyse the situation based on what you described. 1) When he told you he is going onsite for 2 years, has he already confirmed he will go? He could have told you "I don't know" as he has not yet decided to go. Yes, he could have spoken his mind and share with you why he is hesitant. 2) When another friend told you he is confirmed going onsite, was it after your tiff? Or was what your friend told you is just a date given to him but he has not yet agreed to go. I read it a fact that the onsite is confirmed but your friend may not have agreed to go. Or he could have decided to go in a fit of anger after you show him some color. 3) Why would he pinged you the next day? He was trying to explain. However, you just brush him off without hearing him out. The reason being you were angry and feel hurt by his 'lie'. Was it an intentional lie in the first place? Is he not hurt? Think over it. Is it worth losing contact with him just over some small matter? Have a talk calmly and perhaps the misunderstanding can be cleared. The final decision lies with you. I wish you all the best.

Maybe he is just upset that you aren't in the same city with him anymore. So, he's just acting hurt and not trying to understand the reason why instead. Try to resolve your problem with him and if t does not work, you can tell yourself that you have tried.

Being a best friend of yours i think he should not have lied you for this simple reason.Its actually a joyful moment to share with a good friend and i wonder why this friend of yours behaved in this manner. If you have seriously decided to stay away from him just let him know that you are not interested in his friendship anymore but you should have listen to whats the actual reason he was about to tell you for hiding about his onsite.

wellif you think that he is lying ti you and you are finding it difficult to cope with him, then its better to stay away from hi. there is no point in thinking in what he would feel by your rude behaviour as that will make you weak. be strong mentally and tell him sternly that you dont wish to be inany kind of relation with him. and then you wouldn't speak to him ever again. if you are doing the same, you have indeed done a right thing because one cannot suffer the whole life due to a person.
