Ended friendship today

Hey thanks for the reply. She had a threesome with one of her boyfriends. So I guess I'm meaning she and I are different and we always were with life boundaries. I liked all your questions.
@Movingforward10 did have great questions I think, and I like your tact in replying.

My response would be that you can have had a threesome and have slept with two people, or be in a monogamous marriage and have slept with 222 before that.

Consensual multiple person sex or relationships doesn’t class as ‘promiscuous’ necessarily to me.


I think I see you doing something I do when friendships end which is devaluing the relationship or person. It’s a natural response to protect us from hurt but it also stops us appreciating what was good and learning and just not doing what we did again.


Flirting she could help , blushing she would have no control over. I think that’s worth saying too.
 
Hey thanks for the reply. She had a threesome with one of her boyfriends. So I guess I'm meaning she and I are different and we always were with life boundaries. I liked all your questions. I hope I've helped answer. I believe her decision was based on it wasn't worth it to her because she knows she didn't do anything wrong that's basically what she said. There's nothing to argue. She didn't want to treat my family the way we need to be treated and I'm sorry if I'm awfully reminding you of something it doesn't mean I'm right. I open to anyone's response because this blew my mind.
From this post you have shared, I get a sense that maybe you both misunderstand each other, or are communicating at different levels.

You have values about sex and behaviour that are different to hers.
I wonder if you are seeing danger where there wasn't any? Idk.
Because having a theeesome (once? More than one?) I.e. engaging in consensual sex with other adults who are consenting, isn't a sign of infidelity or lack of moral compass or deceitfulness. Having an affair with your friend's husband is a different thing. It is crossing boundaires. It is knowingly hurting and lieing to your friend. It is knowingly breaking social norms and what is seen as acceptable behaviour in society.
So I would say they are totally different things. .
And one does not lead to another.

Maybe she felt judged by you?
Maybe she felt she had nothing to change?
Maybe she felt that your marital isues were yours and nothing to do with her so nothing for her to change?
Maybe that is her personality and she's happy with herself and her behaviour?
Maybe she is totally insensitive and disregards your feelings?
Idk.

Does it sound like the friendship is totally beyond repair?
Do you want it repaired?


I think things like this are a reminder that: nothing stays the same. Relationships change and do end. It rocks our sense of stability when they do because we like to have security in relation to others. But: things do change. And they may change from this current situation too.

(Thanks for the apology but no need to: I need to be aware and responsible for my feelings about that word and hope I have taken my emotion out of this now, but may not fully have)
 
I've reread the replies here and do feel very sensibly helped. Thank you everyone. Sorry I'm too exhausted to @ everyone.

The friendship has come to an end and I'm not seeking to reconnect. I am okay if she can't handle me. I can hardly handle me this time in my life. I know she has a lot of pressing issues. Maybe she snapped. I have talked to her since. We are still the same, nice, but that "TTYL" connection you have with someone is entirely gone for me.
