The good thing in everything you've said is that both of you share a good bond, and this recent addition of colleagues has caused some tiff, so firstly talking clearly and openly about the whole thing is essential and will help get clarity too. Friendship is necessary for both of you, and generally, friendships involve a lot, depending on the gender of friends. So the conversation about the friendship and friends will help.
If things don't start getting better or fall in place, get help from a professional, to better understand the whole thing also to strike a balance between plans with friends and with one another.
Next Steps
conversation with everything that is on your minds without accusations or assumptions.
depending on the outcome, get a therapist and start sessions.
Health Tips
