turokturok5 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 One of my best friends from primary school (I'm 27 now) and his partner had been really great friends of mine over the past few years. We always hung out and they were always there for me in difficult times. I started dating a girl a few years ago (and they helped me get together with her) and I started spending most of my time with her and neglecting my friends. Fast forward a few years and I was a groosman at their wedding. However I started getting a bit sick with a blocked nose/sore throat (at the very beginning of the COVID crisis and my family had just returned from a cruise) and called them on the morning of the wedding to tell them. We talked it over and as my family were tested and came back negative they said they really wanted me there, so I went. At the wedding I was very self-conscious about being ill, hardly talked to anyone, was very fatigued and ended up leaving a bit early and they both seemed quite angry that I was leaving. Fast forward a few weeks, my friend messaged me to ask if I could pay him back some money I owed him. I was really angry that given the circumstances of COVID and me being ill, that he didn't even to bother to ask how I was. I sent him the money and haven't spoken to him since (2 months ago now). Now over the past few days I've been having trouble with my girlfriend and it has made me think about other areas of my life. I feel like my friends and I fell out not just because some potential miscommunication around the time of the wedding but also because I have been selfish and haven't been making much of an effort with them. How do I go about reconnecting with them? I want them back in my life. I messaged my friend asking him how he was a few hours ago but haven't got a reply yet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Pumaza Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Good that you realize now all of that. They say dont borrow money of freinds because it breaks freindships. They gonna need it one day and you may not like when they ask it back. Or some also dont pay back and the freind gets mad and feel betrayed. If its small amount best is to give it away. But make sure the freind dont keep comming back. You can just invite them to picknick at the park. Or to go do something you guys use to do just the 3 of you. Just be honest like i miss our freindship ,we havent spoken a while, would like to catchup with you guys next week. But learn once never cut freinds and family off when you married or have a girl. Because it can end and you will be alone. Beside you need your sociallife. Anyway see if the freindship still there.if not know that you can always make new freinds. Link to post Share on other sites
