Jess gets dumped by Matt but it’s too late to salvage her friendship with her best friend
DEIDRE SAYS: Dear Jess... IT is so easy to get caught up in the intensity of a new relationship, especially when your new partner sweeps you off your feet.
But focusing solely on a new partner can mean you lose the balance in your life and ultimately friendships.
After neglecting Sophia for so long she has become hurt and resentful.
You underestimated the value of good friendship until too late. True friends are those we trust, rely on and those who we make a lifelong investment in.
You can apologise, tell her you’ve learned from your mistake and hope that she comes around.
If she doesn’t want to rekindle your friendship then I’m afraid there isn’t a lot you can do except let the friendship go gracefully and take your learnings into your future friendships.
I’m sending you my support pack Rows With Friends to help you.
