writes:Recently I have had a health scare. I work with my very best friend and she has told me I'm her best friend ever and she has never in her life had a friend that means as much to her as I do. She tells me all the time she loves me. So when I found out about my health scare I wanted to tell her but I didn't want to tell her at work. I wanted to get her out of the building and tell her in person. We were going to go shopping for work but her husband suggested to her that the two of them go the next day, so needless to say I didn't get to tell her. I have another friend at work and so I did tell her. She turned around and said to my best friend "have you talked to Kim" my friend said "no" so my other friend said "well she will and it's not good". I then get an email from my very best friend that say's: "soooooooooooooo you say we are best friends? Hmmmmmm I guess you were just saying that!I asked you several times what was wrong, last night and again today, still nothing from you. I guess your best friend is Sue now! that is ok if that is how it is, I can see where I stand w/ you. I am very hurt! You were my one and only best friend in the world". I have several thoughts about that response especially from a 60 year old woman. My first thought is how selfish of her to make this about her, my other thought is how possessive of her and the last thought is wow she is acting jealous. How do I handle her reply and respond to it?Thank you!

 You could put it into a letter explaining it. I can see how your friend would get upset and jealous maybe. It's a difficult situation because women seem to only have 'one' best friend but you wanted to talk to her on her own and didn't get that chance and you need to explain to her that you wanted it off your chest because you were upset and needed to offload so you just went to the next best thing, but she didn't help did she by letting your friend know. Just let your best friend know how upset you are about it and let her know that you need her more than ever now. Good Luck with everything.
