help! advice needed with bff?

so lately me and my bff of 2.5 yrs now have been going through some rough times.

it sucks because we were so close and we seemed so inseperable that everyone was convinced we would be friends forever

but this year its different cuz it all started on the wrong foot.

she asked for some space b.c of studies and i gave her space so we kinda disconnected but now our latest fight happened and we havent talked for abt a week now. ..no words nothing.

she believes the fight is because im trying to push her away by being friends with this other girl beth, but its not true because im only friends with beth because shes left me no other choice; shes controlling but in the end she never wanted to lose me but now we're mad at each other and no one's willing to talk to each other. and I for a fact won't ( at least in the near future) because of the hurtful things she's said to me last week, so i think she should be the one to come up to me.

she claims to know all these things abt me but theyre not true, she doesnt know anything abt my life because shes so caught up with talking abt this guy, that we never really had time to talk abt anything else.

i just dont know what to do...should i talk to her? or let it go cuz its not my fault? :/

Update:

thing is that, i find out that she's been talking **** behind my back in this past week to my other friends, and I obv found out but thing is, she doesnt understand thats its her attitude that makes up this whole problem. she's just conceited in a way, but everytime it's just been me going back and talking, and im tired of her running in and out of my life w.o consequence...that kinda thing.

honestly dunno what to do

    Friends come and go but if you'd like to keep this particular relationship going, give it some time so you're all cooled down about the issue then go and discuss it with her. Make sure to say Beth isn't your new BFF just a replacement because you were lost without her.

    Don't be too clingy incase she throws it back in your face, but you can only try to get the friendship back. She may not want to as it seems like she's been pushing you away for awhile now.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're in such a tricky situation.

    The reason why she has been trash talking is most likely because she has no other way of dealing with her anger or frustration about the situation. Everyone needs to vent when they have troubles in their life. When they're is a lot of emotion built up, it's not surprising to turn to emotion driven actions such as trash talking. What you need to do is just take the high road and leave all the trash talking on her side. At the end, whether you two will be okay with each other or not, you will be seen in a better light.

    I've dealt with flaky friends like that, and heard enough stories from other people. If she has not changed her ways or if she does not show any improvement about her care for the friendship, then I'd say that it is time to move on to better friends. I don't know what age you two are, but it sounds like after the two and half years one of you has outgrown the other.

    If she is talking about some boy, then that also means that her thoughts and care is directed away from the friendship...or perhaps, she has chosen a boy as a distraction from the problems that you two have. If you are willing to wait, then time will show you whether she cares or not about the friendship. The boy might be out of her thoughts tomorrow (we all know how that goes), and she might be sending you a text or calling you when she has realized what she is truly missing. If there is no communication coming from her side, then the choice is obvious.

    No matter what you do, remember to take the high road, and also wait for her to make the first move. You deserve a better friend.

    I hope this helped in any way. Take care.

    I think you should talk to her. I had problems with my bff over a guy, but we ended up getting it all worked out. Just go up to her and explain everything. Be patient, and when she's talking, don't interupt, because you want to keep her around long enough to get everything out.

    Hope this helps. :)
