A friend of mine (F1) fell out with me a few months ago after I admittedly said an insensitive comment to her (I thought I was being helpful but my brain engaged before my mouth). A follow up attempt to redeem the situation with humour wasn't well received, so I swiftly apologised but heard nothing.

A mutual friend of ours (F2) took ill a month later and so I txt F1 to let her know as she lives far away from me and F2. F1 continued no contact with me but. Had received my messages as she txt F2 to see if she was OK.

Another month passed by and I sent a very long grovelling apology to F1 hoping she would forgive me. I heard nothing again.

F2 took ill last week but this time I never txted F1 because she's not spoken to me in 2 months so I figured she won't forgive me and I'm not her personal newsfeed. F1 found out that F2 was ill again and has finally texted me in anger that I didn't inform her about it.

So AIBU not have not texted when F2 was ill again and how should I respond back?

Look I know I fucked up x months ago and apologised at the time and continue to be remorseful however you have not responded to anything I have sent and therefore I have respected that you no longer wish to have contact with me, this to me means that I won't contact you. I would love to go back in time and make it all better but that ship has evidently sailed. If you want to see if we can salvage our friendship I am totally open to this, however until then please do not issue angry messages to me when I have respected your wish to break contact

I think this suggested message is very good. @maddenings

This sounds like a dysfunctional keyboard!

F1 is a manipulative bonkers key (that nobody ever really knows what it's there for) so why not F5 (refresh) your perception of her as Functional, and a Friend, and realise that the effort you have ENTER-ed sadly isn't going to fix her brand of crazy no matter how much you BACKSPACE so it's time to get some SPACEBAR and DELETE the friendship for good.

Hope F2 gets well soon xxx
