Recently, I quarrelled with my best friend because she thinks that I've issues about her and her girlfriend.
It was really just a huge misunderstanding because I don't have such issues but on the course of trying to explain things to her, she somehow didn't get what I was saying and concluded that if I'm going to have issues with her and her girlfriend, she rather we just end it all.
And of course I got really angry and said fine.
And now shes starting to realise it was actually a misunderstanding and wants to talk things through.
But honestly, I see no point in doing so. Why would I want a best friend who is so ready to give up our friendship of ten over years for her girlfriend?
Am I wrong?

I think you should try to work it out with her. I would have to say that I would choose the love of my life over a friend - and have. Not because I don't love that friend or care about them. But because when it comes down to the end of the day he's there with me, comforting me, making me happy, ALL the time. He's my life partner. Of course the friend who I 'gave up' had issues with my husband. And he with her. She lied about something VERY important and it couldn't be taken back. We hadn't been friends for longer than my hubby and I had been together but we were really close. There have been friends too that we just grew apart. One could say it was his fault but in reality it wasn't. It was both the friend and mine's fault.
My best friend about a year ago started seeing her first girlfriend. It was extremely difficult for the girlfriend to accept the fact that we were so close. We're so much a like in so many areas that it's hard not to be that connected to each other. She and her girlfriend didn't have a whole lot in common (kind of like my and my hubby) but that didn't mean she didn't love and care for her. My BF did tell her that if she made her choose - it would be me. Simply and utterly because she doesn't like being in that position. They ended up breaking up anyway after a few months. But not over me. She even knows that my husband comes first. And she knows that I think of her like a sister.
I hope you too can work it out. Look at it like this. Flip it for a minute - do you want to throw a 10 year strong relationship out the window for a girl who might not even be in the picture in a year from now?

You know,what you're saying makes alota sense.
But right now I guess I'm just feeling really angry with her. Because although I wasn't willing to throw a 10 year strong relationship over this, she was.
And that's whats getting me so mad. It really did hurt I must say.

I completely understand how hurt you are. I think telling her how much that hurt do you guys both some good. When us humans are in love we tend to do silly things. I'm sure if she cares as much for you as you do her - she'll readily apologize for hurting your feelings. :)
