What would you do if your friend stopped talking to you because you told her the truth about a rumor?

Question

I tell "said friend" everything. She is a blonde ditse with no friends so I befriended her so that she had someone... I defend her all the time to everyone that knows me or her because no one can stand her. I told her the other night that my brother had told me at Christmas that he heard a rumor that she was in the bar all the time while she was pregnant. She blew it up, turned it around and told her fiancee that I told her my brother was spreading rumors. So they went out and bought a new cell phone and have been sending vulgar and threathening messages to both my brother and I from a number we did not recognize and when I called the number I could hear her in the background. She is lying to everyone saying that I am now spreading rumors about my brother and that she is going to get us beat up. The thing is that they have no friends and she is terrified of me. Would you try to get revenge or leave it alone and say goodbye to a long friendship?

Answer 1

First of all, revenge?? No, would not do that at all. Scared of you?? Why? How old are you that people are scared of you? My big question is, why would you tell a friend something that is obviously going to hurt her? If she is your friend you don't try to hurt her. She is trying to hurt you back now. Because she is hurt. By you, not the rumor. She didn't know the rumor until you told her. Do you get it. You need to apologize to her, tell her you were wrong for gossipping! You didn't mean to hurt her, you just didn't think it through. It sounds like you love her alot, and are hurt by what she is doing. Be the bigger person, admit where you were wrong, if she accepts, rebuild, if not, atleast your conscience is clear. Good luck, you obviously didn't mean to hurt her. You can get past this!

Answer 2

Real friendship means people actually like each other and it seems that neither of you cared very much for one another in the first place; therefore, you were NEVER friends. The best thing you can do is stay away from this person and get on with your life. Revenge is definitely not a smart idea, and it is also very childish and immature.

If you and your brother are seriously being threatened with violence by anyone, it is time to let your parents know about this situation.

Answer 3

Well first of all your friend must of not been a really good friend if they are really making a big deal of it. Or it could just have been a miss understanding. She could have just heard what you said was worng...
Main thing is if people like that are in your lives and are making you look bad then you really dont need to be friends with them ... Just surround yourself with good people.. Friends come and go.. And the only people in your life that will always be their is your family.

Answer 4

First, you sound like you pitied her more than liked her, so that doesn't really sound like a "friendship" to me. I would leave it alone, or make amends. Revenge shouldn't really be in the picture. In this case it sounds like moving on might be best for both of you.

Answer 5

She's angry, maybe because it's true. She's embarrassed. I would let it go. She doesn't need any more fuel for her fire. Everyone who knows you will know the truth. She's acting out of desperation.

Answer 6

if she going to blow up like that then her loss and don't get revenge because u don't need to act like her that's pretty childish to have to give threatening messages.

Answer 7

You seem pretty sure she's friendless. Seems pretty arrogant to me.

Answer 8

is that a friendship????
Doesn't seem like it to me...
Forget it and move on, really.
