I believe that communication is the most important thing you could ever have in a relationship. Friendship, romantic - any type of relationship. If you don't talk to each other, it's over.
I believe, also, that friendships and relationships have to be "equally yoked." If one person expects more out a friendship than another person does, they're going to get hurt, no matter how hard they try to avoid it.
I believe that when these two things happen - lack of communication combined with one person expecting more out a friend than the other - you have a recipe for disaster.
I believe that if a friend is hurting, you should go to them, whether they want you to or not, especially if that friend is hurting because of something you said or did. Don't ever push them, but let them know that there are things that need to be talked about and you're there when they're ready.
When things are left unsaid, it just makes the entire situation worse.
And finally, I believe that sometimes it's just time to move on and stop asking questions; stop thinking about the "what-if's"; stop harboring the hurt and the bitterness and get over it.

That step of getting to the point of not going over the "what if's" is so hard to get to, but there is so much freedom there. Hope you feel better Sara!
