I recently contacted an ex- (who is now married) to see if she wanted to try and be friends. During an e-mail exchange she told me she had three miscarriages and was also dealing with breast cancer, apologized, and said she needed to focus on herself. I expressed sympathy, and offered again nothing but friendship and support. She then sent an e-mail asking me if I was "trying to wreck" her life, claiming people who walked by her computer might see what I had written. I was shocked by all the drama. I've since respected her wishes and left her alone, but I don't understand why she lashed out at me like that. If she hates me so much, wouldn't it have been easier to not disclose any details and just say "I'm sorry, but I can't be friends with you" without disclosing such personal info or getting angry? I can only assume she lashed out b/c she was trying to make me feel bad (and I do feel bad) so that I'd give up and go away. Am I wrong? Is it possible she's lying about her health?
