Even though I am online it looks like I am offline with one of my contacts.
It is also they same way on their end. We don't have each other blocked.
How can we fix?

Greetings Kat,

It looks like your "relationship" with this particular contact is broken.

To re-establish it, right-click their name and choose Delete. Then go ahead and e-mail your
contact to remove you from their list.

Next, press Alt on the keyboard to bring up the Messenger menubar, then choose the Tools
menu, then Options, and finally the Privacy tab. Find the contact on the allow list on the
left, right-click their name and choose the Delete option. If the Delete option is grayed
out, then they've not yet removed you from their main contact list.

After they've been fully removed, go ahead and readd them.
