A broken friendship may be soldered but will never be sound

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Thus, considering a friend as a guide, philosopher and a person who understands you and helps you in times of need, is hurt by words spoken by his friend. The friendship is broken. But again it is patched up by tendering apologies. Both the friends may talk to each other but the relationship can never be the same. Do you think it is possible to have reltionship like it was earlier to misunderstanding?

You are right. But I think after some time, they might be able to be friends as they were before. I had a experience in highschool. This particular girl was mad at me cos I did not tell her about my boyfriend. We were best of friends but I just couldnt tell her cos she was also a friend of another girl, whose brother was a friend of my brother. (i dont know whether you got this) anyway, ultimately, I gained up courage to tell her. And she was furious. But after much convincing and apologizing, she very difficultly understood and then we were sour for some time. But after about 4-5 months, we were good friends again. This may not be the case for everybody. But I truly think that true friends should be able to keep a big margin for each other. Have a nice day.

best friends - best friends
it depends on how close you are to each other, i presume. I knew my best friend when i was 13 years old, (16 years ago) and when we were 17 years old, we had a misunderstanding where we stopped talking to each other for 1 year. after that we met up, clarify the misunderstanding and now we're closer than before!

To conclude, sometimes the misunderstanding can pave way for better understanding, once the misunderstanding is cleared, isn't it? Thanking for your practical example and interesting response.

There is a subtle line between a misunderstanding between friends, and a broken friendship. Friendship by nature is a strong, highly durable relationship (that is, when it gets to be much deeper than than just hi-bye acquaintance). As such, it isn't easy to break a friendship. However, once broken, it isn't easy to bring back its magic in entirety. Some aspect, even a memory of what went wrong is enough to leave a scar. It may be re-built, it may become sound again, and yet, it won't ever be the same.
