Thread Name: BS: What price friendship?
Subject: RE: BS: What price friendship?
There is just enough good in the worst of us
And just enough bad in the best of us
That it hardly behooves any of us
To talk about the rest of us!


Try having it out with X if it can be done without a lot of emotinal upset. If not, write a letter to them, telling them everything, put it away for a few days. Get it out, re-read it; if it is still how you feel, burn it, not only to free yourself from the bad feelings, but also to send the message on. X will know on some level.

Take the higher moral ground and say nothing, probably even if asked by another party involved. We never know exactly what goes on between two others and they each even see it differently one from another.

Talk with Y - keep those lines open as long as there is progress and it is meaningful for both of you. If Y gets hung up on what X said, then leave them alone. Sometimes people need time to sift through all of the data coming at them, esp. when it is on an emotional level.

Hope this helps!
