Dear Codeword for M,
I' m no martyr, but I am not guilty of committing any crime against you.
I am tired of this bullshit between us, but I am not going to apologize for something I did not do. I am sorry that you think I flirted with Jimmy. I did not, but I realize that this is a subjective rather than objective matter, and therefore I am sorry you percieved me as having done so.
Aside from that single matter, I do not think I have been insensitive to you this summer. I know, and I have seen, that you are not your usual Mary-self, but I understand that the emotional things you are dealing with this summer are very deep and tangled, and so I have not wanted to pry, because I know that I myself would not have wanted to talk about it if I were in your shoes. I have been here if you wanted to talk, and I still am.
We have had radically different experiences this summer, and in a way have lived completely seperate lives. That is just how it turned out. I could write a saga of all the ways I have felt that you have been insensitive to me this summer, but that is pointless, and I do not want to hold onto those feelings because dwelling on such things ruins friendships (and marriages!)
Our friendship is very important to me, you are my biatch, and irreplaceable.
Living with a friend often damages a friendship, we are special though, and I really do believe our friendship can overcome anything.
This is my olive branch.
Love
Caroline, your biatch.
What do you think?
Im afraid of actually sending this to her, because she might have a scathing reply. which would make me mad all over again. and then our friendship would be crippled.

OK. Several comments. One, explain to her why you are so adamant aboutnot having flirted with Jimmy... explain how it is sth you are often accused of, and where in some cases it certainly is true, you really truly did not flirt with Jimmy.
Next. Donät say 'i ahvent been insensitive this summer.' Say you are sorry for coming off as being insensitive. You havent been trying to be, you wanted to give her sapce... if she wanted someone to talk to rather than space, say sorry and tell her you are here to talk whenever she wants.
Donät say 'i could write a saga'. Say I too have felt that you were in turn insensitive to me, there is no right or wrong becuase it is totaly subjective and emotional, bla bla, but i dont want to rub in your face, i just want to offer an apology for my insensitivty.
Also, try to make the main focus not about Jimmy. Say you realiye the jimmy thing is just one issue, maybe the straw on the camelsback... don't be defensive, carrie, unless you are attacked. Olve branches are for being apologetic and reaching out to the other person. If thre is something you can't feel sorry fr, don't mention it.
Other than that, I think this is a good letter. I am really excited that you are taking the initiaitve in fixing the weird breech btween you guys. I think it is really mature of you nuggs.
Oh also, maabe at the end add a ps like 'lets actually ENJOY the rest of our time in LV together, as biatches' or sth along those lines.
I would say ask maggies opinion, but maybe she is also angled in the situation..i dunno. Oh nugg i love you so.
