Feud

I have been feuding with someone for 6 months now.

There have been several ugly incidents.
Incidents that led me to believe that the other party to this feud was a duplicitous self-righteous self-serving evil bitch-stick from hell:

Fights.
Tears.
Shouts.
Screams.
Insulting emails.
Horrendous written rejoinders.

Frozen looks.
Shocked and hurt feelings.
Silence.

It wasn't always like this. Once we were buddies. We were close friends. We hung out together. Went shopping together. Had girly sleepovers where we wore silly looking pajamas, had pillow fights and watched all sorts of things in many a movie marathon session.

And then there was an end to all things happy, all things convivial.
No more talk, no more drama. Only silence and hate.

How did this happen?
How did we descend into a quagmire of harsh words and ill-will?
How did a friendship of solid sisterhood and kinship suddenly become this thing of horror and ugliness?

An answer so silly that it shocks the senses and numbs the mind:
...

Because of a man.
