How are you feeling about it? That's what's important.
It sounds like there might be more to talk about and work through with this friend to get to a place that's comfortable for you to cointinue.
I have been there. The other person didn't blame me, but rather stated thay my behavior toward her was not acceptable to her. She was defining her own boundaries. That was hard to accept because I felt a little misinterpretted, but she has every right to feel how she feels and to set her own boundaries. We moved on and I felt cautious for a while. It was a good learning experience for me that someone could feel hurt by me but not turn their back on me and abandon me as I would expect and and as I am familiar with. Part of the difficulty I had with it was that I had to deal with the temporary discomfort of the unfamiliaritly of the relationship getting back up, buliding back up.. after falling down.
But it only matters what you think and feel as this is your situation.
To accept this and move forward cautiously might be a really good experience for you.
What do you think?
