I want to end a friendship...

Illustration/Uday Mohite

One of my closest friends let me down during a crisis and just acted as if nothing happened when things got better. She continues to meet me often, doesn't even mention those bad times, and has never apologised for the way she behaved. I have never said anything because I always assumed she would talk to me about it when she was ready, but it feels as if she thinks she did nothing wrong and wants us to be friends the way we used to be. I don't think I can accept this, and don't even know if I want her in my life anymore because I know I can't count on her. How do I deal with this?
If you want something, say something. This is even truer for a friend because you should be able to have these conversations. If the resentment you feel isn't addressed, it will not allow you to maintain this friendship. More importantly, even if you decide to end it, you will ask yourself why you chose to let your friend get away with bad behaviour. Stand up for yourself, ask her for an explanation and, if it doesn't satisfy you, make better choices and choose people you can trust going forward.

I was always told that rebound relationships are a very bad idea, until I met my current boyfriend a month after a bad break-up. He is everything I want in a partner even though I didn't take this seriously when we began dating. I just wanted something casual to forget about my ex, but this is turning into something special, and I am wondering if I am missing something. Are there red flags I should be looking for?
Relationships are complicated and there is no rule book that says a rebound can or cannot work, just as no one can predict if two people will stay together forever. If it works for you, and your partner makes you happy, that is all you should worry about. Why look for issues?
