I'm not sure that this friendship makes sense anymore, but I also wonder if our friend's decision to block Stacy was born from this same struggle to be in conflict.

Hard to say.

If Stacey was harassing her by text nonstop for days or something, then maybe it was necessary.

But I also wonder if blocking her was a way of saying something to Stacey that she didn't have the words or the ability to say.

A message, yeah.

And blocking someone, even someone who might deserve it, that is easier than going to them and saying, like you said, Jordan, hey, you've hurt me in these ways and maybe I've made mistakes along the way too and I feel we have some big stuff to talk out.

I'd like to give us a chance to do that.

I would probably want to at least try that before deciding to block someone, although I completely understand why she was so fed up with Stacey at this point.

But when it's someone you go this far back with, I think it's important.

And so I guess I just wonder why that didn't feel like an option.

Maybe what she feels is some reasonable conflict and some mild regret around blocking her, not fully leaning into the conflict.

And that is manifesting as something that feels vaguely like guilt.

So are you saying she does need to make amends?

That I am not sure.

I don't know if there's a right answer.

I know.

It gets confusing when you stop blaming the other person entirely.

Slash not regretting doing more when you could.

He kind of has to, I guess.

I mean, I don't know if he has to, but that's very common.
