QUESTION:
My friend and I have been fighting for a few days now and we have been friends since second grade. She now comes around gives me all of the stuff I gave her and she says that she wants all the stuff that she gave me. Should I give her stuff or what?
ANSWER:
I am sorry to hear that you are fighting with your long time friend. If she is not willing to talk and try to reconcile or at least take a few weeks to cool down, there is not much you can do but give her back her “stuff.”
Often times in our anger we make hasty decisions that we later regret. Have you tried emailing or calling her to talk it out?
Prayer is always a great help in those times too. Ask God for some guidance in how to reconcile the friendship and move forward.
Time will do wonders for all problems. When we give each other some space, time, and cooling off- great things can happen very, very slowly.
Be patient. Apologize where needed and pray.
Good luck and I hope you can work things out.
