I had a fall-out with a friend at work whom I have often gone out of my way to help - making her look very good with her bosses (she is a manager btw) which is fine. I have always said that i would love to come back to her department, and said it over and over for more than two years. A vacency came up, and she gave it to someone else. When I tackled her about it, she burst into tears and told me she 'hadn't thought ...' which to me was simply not good enough, and I said so.
From tnen on - about four months now - she has ignored me. I am perfectly willing to make up, I don;t bear grudges, I said my piece, it;s done with, but she will have to come to me.
Every day I am sorry we are no longer friends, but that is how it is - maybe at the Christmas meal on Fridaty she may make peace? I'm here if she wants to be friends, but she has to make the first move. I am easy-going, but I am not soft - a subtle but important difference.
