I'm a MN regular but have namechanged for this as it is quite outing.
I've been friends with X since uni for 25 years and we've been through a lot together. I always considered her one of my closest friends, and I naively assumed we would be friends forever.
X's dh runs a business selling secondhand cars of all different types. We have bought a couple of cars from him over the years, as we wanted to support him. I don't think the business is doing that well, which may be relevant. Anyway in Jaunary we bought a used car from another dealership as we wanted a specific make which X's dh doesn't specialise in. I knew this might be a problem, so I met X to tell her what we'd done as I didn't want her to hear it from a third party. She wasn't happy, but I explained our reasons and even apologized and I thought she had reluctantly accepted the situation.
Since then, she has basically ghosted me: hasn't replied to texts and won't take my phone calls. A mutual friend has confirmed she is furious with me for "doubting her dh's professionalism".
I feel really hurt and shocked by this. Does anyone have any advice? Do I just have to accept the friendship is over and move on?
