Friendship

A year ago I lost a really good friend over some bullshit. She allowed the guy she was dating to get into her head and control her without her realizing. She eventually broke up with him because she stopped loving him, she still cared, but didnt love. When this happened, he immediately came to me crying like the bitch he is and asked "how could he get her back". At the time, I really wanted them back together. I knew what was making her mad in the relationship because she would tell me so advised him to stop telling her your every move, stop being there everytime you think or know she needs something. Let her see the grass is not greener on the other side. Make her miss you alittle. He was basically too available, no challenge. After this conversation, he calls her the next day and says that I wasnt her friend and I wanted her to lose everything she had and I didnt care about her. Now how the hell did he get that out of that conversation? This man was finacilly taking care of my friend so I think the money got to her alittle and she forgot who she was. Now my friend and I worked together at the time. She immediately stopped talking to me. Now a real friend would have pulled me to the side and said, "Girl, this is whats going on, ______ said this, but I know the type of person you are so I know thats not what you said. She never approached me like a friend or a woman. She just cut all ties loose. So the day before she decide to quit her job, he pops up in town to have a meeting with all of us. Of course everything blew out ofproportion and got heated, while she just sat there and said nothing. The next day after the argument, he comes over to my house to explain to us (me and my husband) why he did what he did. What a bitch ass man! In the mean time my friend and I hadnt talked in a year. My husband saw her the other day across the street from our place at a restaurant. They spoke and hugged, he told her that we missed her, she replyed I miss you'll as well. He asked if she was going to come over and see me after she finished eating, she said yes. She walked in the door and I immediately was happy to see her. She seemed happy to see me. We had small talkm very small talk and she left. Now this is a person that knows everything about me and I know everything about her, but it was like we had nothing to talk about. After she left, I didnt know what to feel. One of my employers said to leave it alone, but I believe that if you have a real friend, you need to talk about things. I text her phone two days after and said, "It was really good seeing you the other day, I wish we could get our friendship back". I am willing to forget the bad things over the past year if you are. She replied, "I really miss you guys and want to get our freindship back, lets let the past be the past. Now my question is, is this geniune? If she hadnt seen my husband, would she have come over to say hello?
