[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here with an update. Friend has been reaching out and I’ve been unresponsive. Today I just let her know that of course we will always be friends but that I’m hurt and this really feels like a pattern. Essentially, I share something vulnerable that I’m struggling with and she points out all the reasons I should have known and/or created this problem and/or things I have done wrong, etc. Maybe I’m too sensitive but I’m just tired of this dynamic and need to take a step back.[/quote]

OP, if you don't want to spend time with this friend, then don't. But take a look at your role in this dynamic. You're too passive when you're with her and don't manage the situation appropriately. You shouldn't have even mentioned the business and then you failed to stop the conversation about the pitfalls that you didn't want to hear. Then you stewed about it later until you're enraged. You need to learn to deal with the situation when it's happening. This is bigger than the issue with one friend.

You don't have to spend time with her, but don't lay all the blame at her feet. You didn't behave appropriately either. [/quote]
