Can you help me figure out why she is still trying?

Question

I will try to make a long story short. My friend and I had a falling out about 9 months ago. This is not the first time, but it will be the last. She was taking advantage of me and I found out she stole from me. After that I stopped talking to her and ended up kind of s******g her over at tax time because I did day care for her kids and when she lost the receipts I did not make her duplicates. She told me that she never wanted to speak to me again (after we had already not spoken for a few months) and I didn't want to talk to her either. Now she text messages me every once in a while and I do not know why. At first I would text her back and tell her to take me off her phone list but she won't. What is she trying to accomplish? She told ME that she never wanted to speak to me again and I am the one who is sticking to that, not her.

Answer 1

Okay I would say that you were a good friend. And that old saying you never miss your water til your Well runs dry, well she is thirsty.

Answer 2

Just maybe she wants to apologize.  Just maybe she has a conscience and wants to talk about what she did wrong.  This maybe good for "closure", if in fact you do not want to be her friend, any more.  Or, it maybe a new start over for both of you to be friends, again.

Answer 3

sounds like a hard friendship

Answer 4

I think that she still likes you, and still, deep down, wants to be your friend. She probably realizes what she has done, and even though she is mad about the taxes, she knows she was in the wrong and maybe she really does want to make up. If she truly hated you, I really don't think she'd try to keep contacting you.

Maybe you could have it in your heart to forgive her?

I don't know very much about your situation, but it just looks like she may "want you back". (friends-way)

I know you are fed up with her though, so maybe there is no hope. If you really never want to talk to her again, tell her you are no longer friends and you are not replying to her messages any more, and you'd appreciate it if she left you alone.

But, if she could be trusted again, maybe you could gain a friendship, or even just an aquaintance-ship, so you aren't the best of buddies, but can casually talk.

Whatever you want!

GOod luck

Answer 5

Just ignore her. Eventually, she will go away.
