Sometimes it sucks to be the bigger person

Really! Sometimes it really sucks trying to be the bigger person and then you get shot down. I guess it all depends on the person you are trying to overcome and how mature they can really be too. I have tried for years with this one particular girl that i thought i called a "friend". It just seems like no matter what, she cannot seem to move past the phase of "I told you so's" and "i'm right and your wrong." And the sad thing is, I feel sorry for this girl. I don't know why. I can't explain it. I have prayed about it and asked God to lead me in the right direction with my dealings with her, and "WHAM!" I get knocked in the head with her response of "I'm right and you're wrong". Ironically, followed by the statement that everything is "all good" now and she sure would like to hang out with me and my friends at a pool party this week. WTH????

Any advice on a response to that one???

I apologize to an extent...

Have you ever been told by some one that they 'apologize to an extent"? What exactly is this? Are we putting stipulations on the apology? If that's the case, I'd like to put some stipulations on my acceptance.

I only accept if you say it sincerely.
I only accept if you use the exact words I want to hear.
I only accept if you know everything you did that hurt me... even the most minimal detail.

Come on. If you are willing to apologize, don't be so proud to add that "to an extent" so that you don't look quite as guilty for hurting someone else. I mean, it may make you feel better, but what about the person that you actually hurt? If you are truly sorry for hurting that person, why make them continue to feel guilty "to an extent"? So you don't feel as bad? That's my guess.
