I know this is a stupid argument and any comments of the 'grow up' variety will be met with sage nodding and sad agreement. But here I am and wondering on which of these two people the onus sits to reach out? What do you think? If it's on me, I'll do it. But I don't want to pester someone if they don't want me to either. It's hard.
Person A: Starts an uncomfortable online conversation with Person B about their friendship. Person A tries to change the subject after saying what they want to but Person B won't let it go. But they talk it out and eventually agree to park it and move on.
Person B: Immediately asks person A if they want to meet up and suggests a time.
Person A says they are busy at the time suggested and makes up a stupid lie about where they will be instead.
Person B finds out it is a lie and confronts person A, saying "I don't see the point in us being friends if things are going to be like this"
Person A says: that's fine, don't contact me.
Person B says: I over-reacted, but I did that because you lied to me, and now I'll leave you alone.
And that's the last we were in touch. I know we're both knobs. But based on that where do you think the onus sits to reach out, on A or B?
