    Hoping someone can give me a different perspective here

    I have a very close friend who I recently had an issue with,stupid row,wrong on both sides etc etc

    However, since then I've had no contact from my friend..I've reached out but no reply.


    This person has been so good to me in lots of ways but now I'm stuck

    If this friend wants no more to do with me, then I have to respect that & I don't want to bother them

    However, I would of course like to apologise....do I approach them again?

    Thanks

    It depends really on what your issue or row was about..
    If hurtful things were said and the nature of what was said.
    Sometimes people find it easier to walk away than to face up to their flaws if it was a problem on their side and then on the other hand if it wasn't their fault they may just feel they don't want contact anymore with you. It's hard to say as I don't know the nature of the row.
    If you have only tried contact once, think of the timeframe you left to contact
    If it was straight after the row your friend may need time to cool down so give them a few days or so.
    I would also think hard in the type of contact you would like to make with them as sometimes just a text isn't enough.
    Trying ringing perhaps as they may blank you face to face and if they don't answer maybe then text and if you hear nothing after that then hold your head up high, learn from experience and move on.
    Best of luck, hope it works out for you!

    If they are continually helping you, maybe whatever the argument was about made them think you're more trouble than you're worth?

    Yes you could be right....that said I would still like to apologise for my part of what was a stupid row.

    Is he male? Theres probably a lot more to it than a silly row. Does he think you're selfish or fake? Perrhaps thinks the friendship is pointless and this is an easy way out of dealing with previous good times leading him back into it
