Hello, I learnt a few weeks ago that a former friend has cancer. In our last encounter I insulted her because she told me that she had feelings for me. First I insecure but despite it I have decided to do this and she agreed. I met her and unfortunately it was not very satisfying. First she was nice and at least seemed not so weak. I was insecure how I would react if there was a „ girlfriend “ but we were alone and I didn’t ask about it . Later she I was more „ open“ and she seemed kind of annoyed of me…. Was I insensitive because I didn’t deny my views about homosexual behavior? And mentioned my fiancé ? I am Turkish/bosniak and live currently in Germany so I hope the text is understandable

@Zuid,
When someone has Cancer, the last thing they'd need is to be reprimanded about sexuality.

Yes, you were wrong. You made a visit to a sick "acquaintance" and made it all about you and your negative views. Cancer is a horrible, nasty thing to go through. This person needs love, compassion and help. You gave none.

What's the time frame to this last encounter? Weeks? Months? Years?

If you were good friends in the time you were friends? I suspect she'd appreciate the support. You will have to bite back any judgmental sentiments if you still hold any strong antiLGBT beliefs.

There is a big difference between reconciling and setting a record straight. Trust me, you screwed up. Write a note expressing abject apologies and perhaps expressing the wonderful memories you have of having been with with her. And do not try to communicate with her otherwise unless she invites it.

A person in their last days doesn't need you setting them straight on any matter.
