When someone we regard as a cherished friend suddenly is not there for us, it can feel like a hurtful betrayal. But before accusing or condemning them, you might want to ask yourself such questions as "Have they disappointed me before?", "Are my expectations too high?", "Have I always behaved perfectly towards them?". Exploring these issues honestly will allow you to accept your share of responsibility. Since we are all fallible and could potentially disappoint our friends, it is good to remember that there are two sides to every story.
