My best friend

Ok well my best friend and boyfriend broke up and for 2 weeks he wouldn’t talk to me before they broke up and usually he would come up to me and hug me I’ve known him since before they started going out but anyway I asked him why he wasn’t talking to me and he said that she told him to stay away from me but I would never hurt her by doing anything with him so I asked her why she said that and she denied it so today he told me that she said we were flirting one day when we hung out and that isn’t true so I went up to her and asked her why she said that and her friend was the one that told her we were flirting when she went into her house we sat on her steps and she’s lied to me before and I don’t want to end our friendship but I want to know what to do about it because she lied the first time and told me I guess the truth the second time and I just don’t want her to lie to me all I ask from her is the truth.

sigh. please dont post dups. my very long answer just disappeared because someone deleted the dup. It’s highly frustrating. Anyhow.

Now look, I know you’re unhappy that she lied. But look at what the motivation was behind the lie. She doesnt trust you. And then, what do you do, you go and rat out what she’s been saying to him… Thus proving her point, that you cannot be trusted. She’s not the only one to be blamed in this. When you do things like that, trust is undermined, and you become at fault too.

If what is important is saving the relationship, not who is right and who is wrong, stop looking at the past. Right now. Realize that you have a part you played, realize what you did wrong and admit it. Then talk to her about how you feel when she lied to you and didnt trust you. She believed some girl instead of talking to you. Try not to get defensive, blaming, or angry. Just try and express how you feel. Then you decide whether being her friend is more important that your pride, who is right, some guy, and some girl who is purposefully trying to make trouble between the two of you.
