Your friend did the right thing – I would say, at the right time. Sometimes, it's good to have that blow, all at once.

I'm someone who truly values friends and friendships. I'm very expressive as well. I will make an effort to keep that friendship alive. But if it's not reciprocated time and again, I will step back.
And yes, I heard the sentence, "So you forgot about me? I'm like – the audacity you have, girl."

P.S. I'm sorry to hear about your abusive relationship in the past. I hope you have healed :) 🫂
