Break up to Make up?

Hello all! I am sure many of us have had issues during some of our friendships where we get into petty arguments or disagreements with our friends. Do you always restore the friendship to what it used to be and move on from the fight? Or is it too awkward to act like nothing happened? Have any of you lost friendships over petty arguments? Do you regret it? Friendships are important relationships in our lives. True friends help get us through tough times and these are people we share experiences with it. Can you say that you have tried everything that you could to try and keep a friendship together? At what point do you think you have to let a friendship go?

Well, i do have a friend back in high school. I just cant remember the reason whats the real reason why. All i remember that me and some of my best friend was reaching out for her again to be friend. But it seems so aloof and we cant do anything about it.

Sometimes you just have to let things go. Sorry about your friend though.

This is right down my alley at this point in time in my life. I'm not sure, but I think I lost a friend over something pretty stupid. This is a guy friend and we had been best friends for years. We almost dated many times, but then he back away. But I knew I loved him. Finally, he did something one night that really hurt me and I said to myself that I was done waiting for him and if he wanted me, he would let me know. Then, I met my fiance. Danny(my friend) all of a sudden became a real jerk to me. He tried to get me to hang out with him without my fiance. I knew it wasn't right, but I was missing a lot of signs until a friend pointed them out to me, that Danny wanted me. One night, Danny wanted me to come to a park here in town by myself. i told him I was tired because I had just gotten home and it was late. I told him he was more then welcome to come here and hang out. and if he felt awkward, we could visit outside. He said to hell with it and hasn't talked to me sense. i saw him the other night and he acted like he wanted to say something, but just walked away. I knew I did the right thing, because I knew my fiance wouldn't like it and I wouldn't like it if he ran off to hang out with a girl in the park at night. Danny was my best friend and i did love him, but I had had enough of getting hurt and the confusion. I haven't talked to him for a couple months now. Most of the time, I try to make ammends, but this was a losing battle. I knew i would lose something sooner or later and I love my fiance with my whole heart and I wasn't about to risk it.

I understand. I have been in that situation before and you did the right thing. Sometimes you just have to let things go. It's not worth the constant headache and heartache. Just think of it as Danny's loss and he should have let you know that he wanted you when he had the chance.

For me its more about how many times has this happened! If you have little petty arguments every now and then thats just life but when its starts happening a lot and over the same petty things thats a red flag for me. I need some one I can trust and count on, not an old women who wants to fight about little petty things. Life is so much better when you let all the little things go. Stay positive. When your butting heads with others thats all negitive! On another note I feel being happy also leads to good health! So why have all these arguments when we are a society need nothing more then to work on our health. Positive positive positive! Thats my way of thinking and if my so called friends can't understand that then thats there problem and maybe its time to move on!

I agree! If a relationship is based on negativity, it is best to let it go because no one wants to fuss and fight all the time.
