My question is about a fight I had with a friend. We have been friends for about 2 years now. We have an incredible relationship but we fight a lot (although we fight about stupid things). I know it sounds strange but our fights happens quite often, and according to him it is always my fault (most of the times it is). As I said, even though we fight a lot, when we get along, we have the most amazing times together.
Yesterday we had a fight because I insulted his art work (he wants to be a photographer) and he obviously got mad at me. This fight is very different from all the others we've had. This time he said he can't forgive me, that I've gone to far. I called him today to ask him to forgive me and that I wouldn't do anything to make him angry again, but he says that I always say that and keep doing the same thing over and over again.
I really want to continue being his friend so my question would be what can I do to become his friend again? I need to change some things about myself to prevent future fights because of my way of behaving towards him. What can I do to start changing my attitude towards him (I know I can because I dont act like this towards my other friends)? I appreciate your help!

Mabye you could be more careful about what you say? You admit you insulted his artwork. You need to critique, not critisise.

Yeah... that isn't a very nice thing to do Maybe you could bake him a cake and write him a letter- it always works for me. Write about how you've realised you have been stupid, and say you would really appriciate it if he forgave you this last time, and gave you one more chance. Then in future remember this is your last chance. Tell us how it goes!

the cake thing sounds like a good idea but your going to have to realize you cant pick fights with people just becuz and one day they will get sick of it and just walk out of ur life so I would watch what u say and start being nicer.

Well, why don't you wait for a little time to pass? Once you both have calm down, it would be much easier for him to forgive you and vice versa. You obviously shouldn't have insulted the art in the first place, but we all do stupid things some times, so don't get worked up on what you could have done. Whoever posted the cake idea has a great idea-because it sounds like photography is very important to your friend, and it will take time and good behavior to make your friend trust you again.
