I'm off work this week and my friend had asked if I would like to meet her for lunch today. I explained that I had an appointment and could we make it another day. All fine with that. Well this morning my appointment was cancelled so I rang her to see if she was still free for lunch and couldn't get hold of her, so after another couple of attempts I left a message for her on both her home and mobile numbers.
Anyway, another mutual friend called me late morning and asked if I'd like to meet for lunch, I explained that I was waiting for friend A to get back to me so she suggested that we all meet up (they are friends too). I called friend A again saying that I hoped she got the message on time and saying where we were and was she free to meet us.
I got home about half an hour ago to find a message on my home machine ranting that she's seen me out with our other friend and that I clearly was lying about my appointment and that I just didn't want to see her. I've just phoned her to explain (and I really can't understand how she didn't get any of my messages) but she won't even talk to me.
She's a lovely woman and we've been friends for a while. She is having some MH issues at the moment and I've done my best to be supportive/helpful etc. and she would normally totally accept any explanation but she really has been having a hard time lately and I know I have to be sensitive with her. I do understand how this would have looked to her if she hadn't got my messages but she won't even let me explain and I don't know what to do now. Any advice?
