Should I do it? It’s been TWO years since me and my ex best friend stopped talking. We always used to fall out because she was VERY high maintenance & I was low maintenance. I was going through PPD & in an abusive relationship so I

couldn’t show up for her as she wanted & I felt like she was over bearing me. My ex was also isolating me & I was being emotionally abused/ manipulated. She was there for me a lot & vise versa. So a lot of our fights were about communication. We both were immature & wrong and we never had a problem apologizing. It’s been two years since we talked and we been besties for almost 10 years but we had about 5 fall outs (only lasting a few months) about our communication back then. But besides that, we were so close & have so much in common. I’ve since healed & understand the importance of healthy communication. & I left the dusty man behind. I still haven’t found a friend like her yet. Yesterday, memories came up of us on Vday & I got kinda sad. I have been thinking about messaging her but I’m afraid that she’s over it. Should I just leave her alone or should I reach out?

I would 100% reach out. You clearly miss her and what’ve you got to loose? Yeah she might not reply, or might not be interested but either way at least then you know you’ve tried. Me and my bestie fell out for a good few months. Like proper fell out. I can’t even remember properly over what but I upset her. Said sorry etc she wasn’t interested so I gave up. She eventually decided to forgive me and we obvs made up. But I remember crying when she messaged me as I was just so shocked to hear from her. We’re now super close again- I’m actually debating asking her to be second birthing partner for me. Message her.

That’s beautiful❤️ I’m so glad it worked out for you guys! Idk why I’m so nervous, it’s been so long and she seems to be happy. I don’t want to interrupt anything and honestly a little scared of possible rejection

Ive done the on again off again thing for over a decade with my high school best friend. I started to notice my life got better whenever we were off again vs in eachothers lives. The real answer to your question is this. Does she make you a better version of yourself or a worse one? And did you make her be a better version of herself? If you both were for the better, reach out! If both or even one of you would change for the worse, leave it be

@Victoria that is something I need to think about for sure. We had a lot of trauma personally that got between us.
