Wonka, Let her go. You've apologized and had several conversations w/her and yes, she's trying to strong arm you into doing something that goes against the grain for you.
You've done all you can do...now let her go. I seriously doubt the friendship will ever be the same because both of you will be uncomfortable and stepping on eggshells when you communicate. Not the best type of friendship if you both can't be open and respect each other's boundaries.
I'm very sorry, but I'm glad you did apologize and have made attempts to keep the communication lines open. Now, it's up to her to figure things out.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
