I have this situation with my best friend, and we had a rocky past.... I used to have borderline personality, and I caused a lot of frustration on his part through guilt manipulation, and me being clingy and demanding. I have been off medication for nearly two years, and been walking as a new creation in Christ- and I am not like that anymore. We have maintained a great relationship since, and he has helped me out a lot- he is an amazing friend. I have talked about simliar situations before
This particular friend knows this, and sometimes I will ask questions, and everything will be fine- other times I will ask the same question in the same context, and they will put up a wall and accuse me of trying to pry into their personal life.
This brings us to today's situation. I build websites as a side job, and created his website for his business, and he had last week asked me to find out when his renewal was due, and to let him know. So I had to look up information on another site today, and I remembered to look up his. I first called and then texted him and told him I had something to discuss with him on the renewal of his website- he called me back right away, no problem. I tried to tell him something else, completely unrelated to the website- and he just said "ok" etc, and I could tell he was frustrated- and we got off the phone.
I felt really odd after that phone call, and texted him to ask if I had said something frustrating, and the response I get was along the lines of
"I feel like you have only used the website info as an excuse to get me on the phone, obviously I needed the info, but you seem to have used that reason to be on the phone to get something from me"
So I texted him that he was wrong, and I was calling him out on it (something we hold strictly to is calling one another out on things... like The Bible says to do ), and I got no response, I then proceeded to tell him that he does this alot, and I am frustrated that he accuses me of things unfairly.....
No response yet, and I did call - then I texted to apologize for pinning something on him without proof.;.. I would just like your thoughts on the situation.
I am leaning toward letting it be until he contacts me...
