Question - (24 August 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 10 September 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I am 17 and have been very stupid recently. I have a friend that i have gradually and slowly drifted from; shall we call her Penny?

Well recently i went out with a bunch of friends to get drunk and high which is my escape from my problems though i know not a very good one. I ended up having sex with her ex boyfriend (we shall call him Harry and they had been broken up 5 months) on a field less than 10 minutes walk from where she lives. I regret it in a way but not because i had sex with Harry but because of hurting Penny. I love her very much she is one of my besties and i hate myself for hurting her.

I thought she had a right to know what happened. So i planned to tell her to her face cause thats not the kinda thing to hear from behind a screen, however, a boy called hmmm Collin got there first and she went ballistic and demanded to see me to scream in my face and start punching me i fought back because i have had a bad past when it come's to violence and i made a promise to myself i wouldnt be the victim again but now i have lost her and have no idea what to do when i go back to college and have to see her and Harry everyday. How can i build old bridges and convince her i really do want to be friends? xoxo

Thankyou for your response and I have tried talking to her but she refuses to talk to me. College is a nightmare as she announced to everyone ont he first day what I did and although most dont give a damn a few people who were close friends have sided with her and people who didnt know me have a bad impression now but thankyou for the advice I will fight on and try my best to make friends again xxx

How justified is her anger. They were broken up, for 5 months, that deserves shouting but not violence or breaking bridges. Saying that to her wont do any good, usually all it takes is time and a conversation (which most hurt people refuse to engage in).
