I'm in my 30s now and had a friend since I was around 11 (il call her Louise)
I started to date her brother but we ended badly.
Me and Louise continued to be friends but there was tension.
Her brother was still apparently in love with me.
Gradually me and Louise stopped speaking.
After 18 months I re activated my Facebook account and within 20 minutes Louise had blocked me.
Her mum also blocked me (even tho she wasn't even on my friends list)
Why? After all that time?
Do you think they all must hate me?
It's just odd don't you for someone to block you without even being on your friends list.
It's a shame as me and Louise were so close,I still miss her every day.
In a way I hoped me coming back on Facebook might start a conversation

OP, you say there was tension between you and your friend from the moment you started dating her brother, did she not approve of the relationship?

If one of my friends started dating one of my brothers I would be a little Hmm but I would get pretty annoyed if I was to be put in the middle of it all (you say her brother blamed her a lot) for, at the end of the day, the whole thing to only last 2 months. Of course people can break up and from what you say he was at fault, but I think I would be annoyed at my friend for picking my brother when there are a bunch of men out there she could have dated without unwillingly imposing a lot of unnecessary drama as well as the awkwardness that probably come with having a friend date your siblings on me.

I think by the time you two broke up she probably was sick to hear one or the other complain about each other and needed a break. I do think she's been a bit harsh to cut you off so suddenly and not sure why her mom is getting involved but I think it's best to just move on, unfortunately.

Sorry you had to lose a long-term friendship for such a silly thing.

She basically said what you did
"Of all the men in the world you pick him"
After the break up me and her were fine,I don't know what went on or was said between him and her...I can only guess.

Kelly you sure have had a bad run honey, weren't you the lady with the concert tickets dilemma the other day?
Just put it down to experience and move on.
To be honest as you get older you do tend to find out that some people are not as good friends as you thought they were. It's sad but I think it happens quite a bit.
Stick with the good ones who are always there.

I really think the ‘damage’ is done with this friend. I would just try to move on, (and I guess don’t date anyone else’s brother unless you’re prepared to risk losing the friendship).

Yes that was me unfortunately ..the steps tickets drama.

You wanted to get back in contact - well I think you got your answer as to whether they want to or not. And if they are so nasty to people they have fallen out with, maybe you've had a lucky escape? You can't force them to talk to you. Beat embrace the blocked-ness, process your feelings and move on.
