Going to contact my Leo Ex Best Friend after years long of silent treatment. Long story short we were best friends for 10 years, then she worked at my dad's office without even telling me (I knew by chance). Then, she suddenly left the office after a couple of months and when she told me she seemed upset, but she didn't say any details, I thought she will talk about it later when she calms down. Dad was very angry and she also had an attitude with me that I felt was very strange of her. She then claimed I didn't care about her. Eventhough I messaged her on several occasions and called her on her birthday to soothe things up. We stopped contacting eachother. And I still have no idea what went wrong.

I think of her often and it makes me very sad that such beautiful memories and friendship was lost just like that. I was also very obedient to dad and when he told me not to visit her, I didn't and she was not welcoming anyway. Also, he attitude pushed me away. I need to know what made her act this way. I am going to message her to meet up and talk about it. I know she has her own life now, got married and has a little baby. But, I need to know why did I lose this friendship, and whether it was my fault or hers. I don't want to be passive anymore and it is an important step for me maybe to learn from my mistakes.

Do you think this Leo will talk? what would you do Leos if you're in her shoes?

What encouraged me is how my Leo ex bf still messages me occasionally to check on me even after 4 years of break up (they are born on the same day ironically)

I bet Daddy is the key!

She couldn’t tell you! Don’t get there. Forget it! Please🙏🏻


I already have an idea what could have gone wrong. Dad has a really bad temper, he probably embarrassed her or yelled at her or told her how stupid mistake she's done. Leos have an attitude and they won't accept such treatment, I know cause mom is a Leo. She and dad are separated cause of that. I am not sure ofcourse if that's what happened with my friends, just assuming. But I need truth.

Leo’s are also sexual and I think THATS what it is!

If he yelled - she would tell.

If he made passes - she couldn’t!

Just forget it!

What ?? I don’t have petty freinds like her

Did something happen between her n your dad?


That never crossed my mind. I just think he may have thrown an anger tantrum. My curiosity is killing me.

What triggered was your statement that your father was insistent that you not talk to her

yes well my father is always very exaggerating like that. Whenever anyone opposes him, he says don't ever talk to them .. blabla. He did that about my uncle before (his brother) because his brother told dad he's mistaken with some issue, now we are close to my uncle again. My dad is an Aries, so imagine his extremes!

should I then avoid this... and keep it a mystery? 😢


Only if you can't handle the truth. Sounds like the situation concerns your father in a big way, so it probably won't be easy to hear. The Leo probably dropped communication with you A. because she was upset about the situation and B. because of your relationship with your father. Leos are known to take on more than we should and keep things to ourselves to spare our friends/loved ones. It's possible that she's also trying to spare you the details and not create a bigger issue for you witihin your family.

It's also possible she thinks you know more than you do. If she was your best friend for 10 years, then she knows your personality. As you've stated, you've been passive in this situation. When your father told you not to contact her, you obeyed. Leos expect our friends to have our backs through thick and thing. If the Leo came to the conclusion that you didn't stand up for her, she probably thought it best to end the friendship.

The fact that your dad told you not to contact her is suspiscious. While the Leo didn't do herself any favors by not communicating with you, there's probably a bigger reason for that. So the question is, can you actually handle knowing what that reason is even if it means painting your father in a bad light?

Did your dad sexually assault her per chance. Getting #metoo vibes.

She worked at your dad's office and you don't think it's strange that your dad never mentioned this to you? Then something happened, and he told you to dump your friend? Either your dad is very immature or he did something very questionable.


Yeah I picked up on that too.

Theres a reason she distanced herself from the op. And its not cause her pride was hurt by being fired. Highly doubt that. Something more sinister at work here.

Yea i had a friend once, her dad yelled at me in public in a restaurant then stormed off. It’s a long story but i never talked to him ever again after that and it actually broke our friendship up. Once you hit family there’s pretty much no going back. I’m sure she thinks about you too but I’m also sure there’s a very good reason for her behavior.


I was thinking to ask an old coworker what happened that made her leave.. I'm not really sure that he worked there at that time, but I think it is worth a try

My friend was there she saw the whole thing, she totally understood why i pulled away. I feel bad that her dad talks to people like that. I can’t be around that

Ok reading some comments, I think this post is taking a very weird turn here .. I dont want assumptions, obviously anyone can make their own assumptions. I just wrote this post in the hope to find a way around this Leo and wondering if it is a good idea to ask her or just stay away forever and keep wondering by myself. Do you think she'd respond? Leos come on


We can't predict what a person will do just because they're a Leo, especially without the details. What we can tell you is that something is up. If a Leo feels the need to burn a bridge with a close friend of 10 years, then something bad happened. Leos don't just trash friendships on a whim, in fact we hold on to friends for a very long time. Since you don't have the details, we're only left to assume a few things based on what you said. It's strange that your father explicitly told you not to contact her. If you want to know what happened, feel free to contact her, but you should also talk to your father. Just know if the Leo already burned the bridge with you, it's unlikely you'll see her again unless you reach out. Also don't expect her to be warm with you, those days are probably gone.

Father is just bossy and controlling like that.. I asked him before when he told me things like you have no friends..etc. and he would get mad.. not even responding. I was wondering if I should contact her and just ask about her..maybe later ill know the truth? I may also ask an old coworker but I am not sure if he worked there at the same time she did.

Hi TxOgal,

I would contact just her and see how she is. I think she would be very happy about it. 10years is very long and I think she forgot about what happened long time ago.

I'm a Leo female and once I went no contact for a few years with my Scorpio friend. I still remember what she did and how much she hurt me, but when she contacted me, I was very happy and we spoke as if nothing happened and we are still friends.

I live in a different country now and lost contact with quite a few of my friends, but if they ever contact me, I will be very happy. Leos are very loyal and we never forget our friends, we may not see each other for years but we remain friends.

I have a Taurus male friend, he lives in Mexico and I live in the UK. I met him in the UK, he went back to Mexico 6 years ago. I saw him recently as he came to London on holiday and I couldn't wait to see him. I may never see him again but we will always be friends.

Contact her and don't worry about the comments about your dad, I think people are reading too much into the story and creating some kind of sensation that probably never happened.

I would love to hear how it went :-).

I still imagine it was his yelling at her. I dont know still the reason, but I know my father and I know he would not do anything bad to her, he just has a bad temper that he fails to control everytime. I contacted her and we had a long call, but we did not get into details.. just life in general. We will meet soon so maybe by then we'd talk about it.

Thanks! Honestly I feel so much at peace now when I talked to her, even we did not talk about that incident yet, I still want to know, but it does not seem of a greater importance than reconnecting with her. It seemed from her talk that she is open for our friendship 🙂

Just an update.. we met finally and it was great 🙂 She did not share what happened before though .. seems like she does not want to remember/talk about any conflicts, which is fine with me. I gained a friend

Thanks everyone who helped really.. without you most probably I wouldn't have made it 🙂 @Chuckcem @MoonshineLeo @Jade_Alexander

peace out



Yay glad everything worked out! You’re welcome(:
