who was originally offended or I guess like wronged.

I think it's also hard because

listening to that, like your friend saying, we just forgot to tell you.

How can you forget to tell someone, let alone your best friend, that you're on a plane to their dream city without them when you otherwise talk like every single day?

I think your frustration is totally justified and you need to probably seriously consider what kind of apology you want, that you need, that you deserve, and whether you are willing to be the one who

who instigates that and reaches out or who waits.

And I definitely think that at the very bare minimum, you need to send like a full kind of dear John, like hard on your sleeve message of like, I'm really hurt.

And yes, my reaction may not have been neat and tidy, but it's because of how deeply I feel about you guys and about our bond and our friendship and also about the situation.

I do feel like, you know, you need a proper apology.

And can those people give you that?

We're going to talk through that in this episode.

That is my most basic, very, very minor advice to you.

But I think the concepts and the psychology we're going to discuss as we go further into this episode are probably going to answer this question for you.

Are you going to be able to move forward?

What is the dynamic of the friendship so far?

Or as it is now, and is it worth salvaging?

We're going to discuss...

what it really means to be in a friendship trio, the role of the third wheel, how people often choose a specific role in a friendship trio and how those roles evolve over time, and most importantly, how to avoid and how to deal with conflict when it inevitably comes up.

So without further ado, let's get into it.

Honestly, friendship trios, I think they're pretty special.
