Ex-Best Friend reached out after a year of being no contact
My ex best friend reached out to me tonight saying that she wanted to “right her wrongs”, she apologized to me asking for forgiveness and she wanted “to discuss things and move on”. It appeared she also wanted to reconcile to some degree.
She hasn’t been very kind to me since the pandemic. She threatened to end our friendship over minor things such as not doing a thing she wanted to do, such as hanging out in certain places despite my schedule and at the time being very poor at driving. She also would cancel plans last minute that we both made to hang out to hang out with her partner at the time several times.
One of the reasons she told that she decided to “break up” the friendship was because she blamed me for not getting over being sexually assaulted and having my assaulter try to go after her after she tried to protect me. While I appreciate her sticking up for me, I was extremely hurt when she told me to “get over it”.
She added that she was going through a lot at the time: a friend’s death, her parents divorce and some issues with financial stability, but also told me that she has a “fuck ton” of friends now. I told her that I didn’t want to reconnect for now and she said she understood.
I’m so hurt and confused. Why is she reaching out now? Is she being genuine, or she trying to guilt/manipulate me? Am I doing the right thing by distancing myself from her?
