if you have a friendship where the other person has a behavior pattern that hurts and you tell them that it hurts you and you try to make different decisions related to this person and pattern to avoid that pain (and are transparent about that changed behavior on your end) but then the pattern happens again, they apologize again and you tell them you felt hurt again, what would you do in that scenario if you want to maintain the friendship?
like i know this is vague i’m just like kinda stumped bc a lot of relationship problems are kinda ameliorated by communicating better and i’ve communicated to them but idk i’m a saddened by the repeated apologies that aren’t followed up by changed behavior
