You weren’t cheated on because you weren’t good enough. They cheated because they’re insecure and don’t respect you. Stop wasting time on someone who threw away a gem for a pebble. The trash took itself out. Need help moving on...

Tough but real relationships can last years without talking and just pick up like nothing ever happened. My suggestion is meet for coffee and when you see each other you will know if time to make this friendship work again or not. To live in the air thinking of someone you obviously care for is not fair for you or her.
Well, I'm gonna tell you this.Yes, definitely respond, except that people fuck up in their lives.And I'm just gonna tell you I know that, because I'm just trying to beat alcoholism, and I've made a lot of people's lives, not the best.If that's anything I can tell you.If it's any consolation🙏💕
Yes, at this point forgive and forget. ! It isn’t too late at this point !🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
6 years is just a tad bit to late for an apology. you will have trouble trusting her. it will be awkward. Just know your friendship will never be the same.😒
Your lives have become unsynchronized....but you both are still very young and things like this happen. You both seem to be missing a piece of your heart and you really should think about forgiving. I had a similar situation and while you can't go back and make things happen the way you imagined it at the time, when we get older, it's the friends you don't have glued to your side all the time that are the ones you keep for life. Because when you are living your lives there are only a couple friends who know you and who need you as you need them, and it has nothing to do with those lost moments. She is apologizing and you in no way are obligated to accept that, but you SHOULD. There are so many more things to come that yall could really appreciate having each other for? Forgive her. She won't ever do it again. 🙏
life is short contact your friend , A mistake was made let go and let God repair hurt feelings.
Life brings mistakes, pain and hopefully maturity. Open your heart back up to her. Love covers a multitude of sin. Harboring anything but love in your heart will poison you and those around you. You've already experienced the worst. Go forward in your life with love.
You are immature and responding the same. Don't respond to her and move on. She sent the olive branch and you rejected it so you could have the last rejection- listen to yourself- I wasn't going to respond on my birthday- like it is a national holiday - it would have taken no more that 2 min - she wanted to make up and used your birthday to facilitate that attempt and you wanted to strike at her and hope you hurt her-
Contact her life is short ! She apologized for hurting you no one is perfect. I wish I can tell someone who loved me unconditionally that I also loved him too. I didn't want to be vulnerable after being hurt by my ex . However I can't ask my friend for forgiveness nor tell him how much I truly love him. He's passed on and I'm missing him everyday. 🙏
if y'all still live close to each other, then YES contact her. if you don't, then don't.
do not response.....silence is the best way for her to feel what you felt when she decided to not tell you about the other Godparent...remember silence is golden
