I've trying to reflect on a question, someone just asked me as part of a reflective exercise... and for the very first time my mind went blank...

Question was: what would you do if your cancer ex-BFF come back tomorrow and asked you to meet to talk? I have not thought about that....

Last event between us (three weeks ago) we talk about us, sort of sort things through, she promise she was going to be more responsive, and start communicating better for a few days, then she left the office and she went MIA, I've sent her a three casual emails days after she move out of the office and got ignored... so I think finally I've gave up and stop sending her anything assuming I got cut off finally... obviously I felt lied to, hurt, rejected and all those things... that I'm working through... as natural am angry too... but for my own process I've decided to forgive her for all the things she have done to me...

But I've been thinking about that question and based on my current state of feelings, I would probably be resentful and angry which I don't want to be not because there is a chance of fixing anything, I guess after all this long this has no fix... But I was thinking, I've read here some cancers go to their shell to process after dealing with heavy stuff and go MIA until God knows when... because as usual they care about themselves on their own time...

Just hypothetically speaking, if that would've been the case, and she is "processing" on her shell... How do you cancers expect people to react after disappearing and reappearing after weeks, months or years (I'm not saying that is acceptable).

Will you mind share that with me? is for me to understand the other person position.

Thats such a good question. My "friend" expected things to just take off from where we had stopped and expected me to understand all he had been through. I made my stance clear but after a couple of days we are exactly back where we were a coupke of months ago. Him MIA and me wondering WtH happened!
I can no longer wait for a fix with someone who is unable to communicate. I have cut my losses.
