Vett - the options you paint all point to Kyle's friend being wrong. I think, Kyle said that he knows what HE did wrong and that he feels bad about it. I don't think it's fair to not consider the feelings that the friend might have had before cutting off the friendship - it takes a lot out of someone to kill a best friendship, so I'm sure she must have been majorly hurt to decide to do that.

Kyle - the card is a good idea, but if you really did so something wrong, I think the best way to show that you want to save the friendship is to describe your understanding of how you might have hurt her, admit that you were wrong, and apologize (no more than twice).

And watch your anger - anger, especially when it's jealous anger in a non-romantic relationship, is never attractive. I disagree with your friend's advice that you need to learn to deal with your problems by yourself. If you need to talk, then you need to talk if that helps you. But try to respect her privacy where possible, don't bad-mouth her if you must talk to people she knows (that just makes YOU look bad), and do try to keep a lid on the anger thing.

Good luck - hopefully she'll give you another chance.

We are ALL going to be a-ok!
