Accepting a friend request again?

[frenchgirl123]

I recently removed a friend from FB last week because we had a nasty argument recently. They sent some messages expressing their feelings about being removed etc (it was fine nothing rude) and then they added me again on fb a few days later. What would be the best course of action? Just to accept them again?

Belated thank you for everyone's replies x

It honestly depends on what was said. If it's someone you respected and this moment passed between you... you know the person well and are willing to let it go... then accept it. If you think the person will be toxic again, then consider whether you really need that in your life.

I can sense the person is pretty anxious tbh, and thanks for the reply.

There is a saying in Turkish: Forgiveness is a virtue.

Depends on how bad the argument got.

[frenchgirl123]

bad bad they crossed boundaries, and I said pretty horrible things because I was angry. They apologised but I wasn't happy so i removed them.

[SweetJoyGirl]

Hmmmm…I mean, is the friendship always like that? Are arguments with this person always like that? Also, did you tell them they crossed a boundary?

[frenchgirl123]

I told them yeah, they apologized but then they sent some messages expressing their feelings which was fine. I was childish and ignored them as I was still angry, then they asked again to talk...

[frenchgirl123]

I get their feelings but not sure to accept them again. Maybe best if they waited a while

[SweetJoyGirl]

If they are always crossing boundaries, you don’t have to accept them back. If it isn’t common, maybe just have a soft conversation with them. 😊

[frenchgirl123]

I was quite rude when I told them so I get why they are anxious in a way

[SweetJoyGirl]

Ok, then just give it time. 💜

[frenchgirl123]

thank you, they didn't know until i explicitly told them about the boundaries which shocked them a lot. they keep asking and apologising

[SweetJoyGirl]

It will all sort itself out, hun. 💜

[frenchgirl123]

thank you, I get the person feels regretful and I know the messages they sent are just to express that they felt bad for what they did
