Ask Amy: Walking buddies’ relationship stumbles

Dear Amy: I have been walking buddies with a neighbor for the last 12 years. We walk together about once a week.

I can usually look past these incidents because usually I enjoy our walks, the communication, and the laughs. But last week she screamed at me again. We do live in the same neighborhood, however, and it’s possible I will run into her at some point. So I have two questions: What should I say if I run into her and she asks if I’m “over it”?

If you are asked directly about this episode, you might say, “S raised her voice at me, so we’re going our separate ways.” When you encounter her again, my advice is to be cordial and calm. You could try one honest statement: “I don’t like being yelled at. Our conflicts make me extremely uncomfortable, so I’ve decided to keep my distance.”
