I think that mistakes of that magnitude that are made in a friendship can sometimes be very difficult to forgive. But it is the responsibility of the person that made the mistake to offer up apologies freely to the other person without having to be asked for them. At least that way, the apologies have been made, and then it is up to the other friend to decided as to whether forgiveness is in order or not. Very strong friendships have lasted because of both friends taking such responsibilities for their behaviors.

I usually talk to that person as soon as the problem arises. I don't nag or blame myself or even that person. I see to it that we've tracked down the root cause and settle it as soon as possible. I always treasure my friends and I can never afford to lose them. They are some of my precious gifts. ;p
