To those who have suggested telling her I’d welcome resuming our friendship in the future… I spoke with her husband (he’s also my friend and I wanted be sure she’s ok, not in crisis, because this was pretty out of character for her) and asked that when he thinks she’s ready to hear it, to tell her I’m still her friend and will always be here if she’s ready. He said he would. Why wouldn’t you just say that to her? Because she asked me not to contact her.

I'm so sorry, but kudos to you for respecting her even though it hurts you. Not everyone has that kind of maturity.

Interesting that it was her DH's business dealings with your coworker that caused the problems, and yet you and her DH are still on amicable terms. If anyone were to have issues maintaining a friendship with you because of your proximity to the coworker, I would think it would be the DH.
Regardless, I am sorry for your pain. My former BFF ended our friendship more than 15 years ago due to circumstances in her life and it still makes me sad.

I feel you. My “best friend” of 50 years dumped me in 2020 because I didn’t love Trump as much as she did. We never talked about politics, I never posted on Facebook or anywhere about politics, and I made a conscious decision NOT to let a political figure break up a friendship that had been through every joyous and sad thing you can go through in 50 years. It didn’t matter. She hasn’t spoken to me in two years. I worried about this with my oldest friend. We have known each other since we were in diapers. She is an avid Trump fan, or at least was. I have learned there are several areas that we just don't discuss. Politics and religion mainly. She knows that I won't go there'd hasn't sent me any garbage emails about anything either. She recently moved to Texas after living in California our entire lives. I'm going to Oregon in a few months. I know we will keep in touch via the computer, but it just will never be the same friendship as our dinner and movie nights.

I’m sorry; good friends are hard to come by. I would be really bummed about losing a friend I texted often.
