Ask Amy: What I did in revenge hurt him greatly. How can I get past this?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:31:35 GMT

Dear Amy: Many years ago, my college roommate did something that hurt my feelings very much. Instead of saying something to him, I, in turn, did something to hurt him as well (although he was never aware it was me).We were both young and foolish but I admit I caused him a far greater hurt than he caused me. These were not physical, financial or social hurts, but emotional.Time passed and we went our separate ways.Years later we discovered that we had both retired and settled in the same city. A deep and loving friendship materialized over time as we rekindled old memories and friends.I agonized over if and how I should confess to what I’d done.I never knew how to bring it up, and also feared it might damage our friendship. I worried that it would hurt him again knowing that I was the person who hurt him.A few months ago, he passed away after a long illness. It pains me that I never cleaned the slate between us.It haunts me daily. It appears I have taken on the pain I once caused him...
