Then I blocked her on FB and my phone because I require time and space to breathe when I'm angry.
Her spouse is a friend of mine too and he tried to deescalate the fight, but to no avail. We are 2 stubborn women. I plan to message her later on to apologize. Nobody that has seen the conversation thinks I am in the wrong. It doesn't matter. I just need to cool down and then I will approach her to amend things.
Tell me, how do you deal with friendship blow outs? I mean after the fact. I'm a feisty person who loves feisty people. It's going to happen from time to time.

I sure wish I was good at friendships. I tend to pull away from friends after a conflict and that’s not the best thing. I’ve lost good friends due to either not speaking up soon enough or pulling away abruptly when I’m fed up. I think once you cool down it’s a great idea to reach out and apologize. It might be a few days or weeks until your friend reciprocates but maybe she will just need some space. I think if the friendship is a good one then it’s worth keeping the connection.
