Have you ever gone through a friend breakup?

Sometimes they’re even worse than romantic breakups. How did you get through It?

She accused me of having a thing for her boyfriend. Definitely not the case. He was unattractive and he smelled funny. Her loss.

@Alababy Even her boyfriend have any thing in his mind it's not your fault. Any men can get attracted to you.

I look at it as growth. I just ended a 17 year friendship this past Christmas. It was over something absolutely stupid. I looked back on the friendship and felt it was holding me back from my true potential. I don’t want to be around people who make excuses for things that they feel they can’t achieve in life. Who rather make excuse in life then figure out how to adapt; It's pathetic. I deserved better people around me. That made me delete Almost 300 contracts out my phone. I have 30 numbers left 🤣.

It’s also a chance to improve yourself. I looked at myself. Honestly, I think sometimes I place my friendships over my love relationships and it’s not always a good thing. Like I’m always there for them. I think I have to work on boundaries. Picking better people.

So if the relationship ends for good don’t look at it as a negative thing. Use this time to look at the whole picture.
@Cinderella1day 300??? Lol

@Sojournersoul yes coworkers, church, neighbors friends, high school, college, university. It adds up. Facebook is enough I can talk to them on there if need be.

Yes, very recently actually 🥺
Friends since middle school, it hurt but when I realized I was the only one putting in the effort to actually try and save it I knew I had to let her go 😔
I wish her the best though, no hard feelings towards her 🥺

Yep. Not counting the "friends" who just up and ditched me without a word, I've had to be the one to end a friendship when they did me wrong. Hate to do it, but there are some things I'll never stand for.

I accepted they chose to walk away. It took time to grasp that, more than a year, but when I finally did I could look back and see the good memories and not fee down about where we were.

You hit the nail in the head .
It doesn’t matter if there a friend break up non romantic or a romantic break up there all painful .
You just have go through it .
There’s no easy way 😂😂😂

Yes, I just cut her off on everything. Sometimes I miss her but then I think about how rude, disrespectful and selfish she is and then I’m good.
Yes. Very hard one of my oldest friends. Thankfully we got back in touch before he passed away.
riseofthemachine · 41-45, M
@Sojournersoul a friend said to me , do you know break up are painful , the friend if they pass away you’d have thoughts then .
That’s the Grace of God looking out for you there my friend

I have.....but I think most people do at some point. And yet, then there are the deep ones that always weather storms. You get through them understanding that it's one foot in front of the other and that as time passes, so does the emotional element. I think as long as you have a core group of dependables, whether it's one individual or however many, you're thankful because you know those people are steadfast.
I just stop contact. I hope she’s doing okay, tho.
AlchemyFox · 36-40, F
I explained myself and then stopped all contact.

Yes. Three times. Once to protect my friend from finding out her husband was a lousy sleazeball who kept trying to hit on me as soon as she fell asleep. Once because I couldn't deal with what she had become, and a third time because he was a toxic online friend.
Wizardry · 46-50, M
Yes and manged ok. Was over a political issue can’t remember what it was though.
Howudoin · 41-45, M
One has to have friends that close in the first place, so good on you that you do
she put me in danger, so yeah. 15 years of friendships over
exexec · 61-69, C
Yes. He and his wife were good friends, but suddenly they were quite cold to us. I didn't know why until they moved to another state. Then my wife told me that the husband had come to our house when I was out of town and tried to have sex with her. She threw him out. That ended the friendship.
Allelse · 36-40, M
Not easily, but he wasn't even really my friend anymore. He was somebody who needed deep psychiatric care and who refused to get helped.
HumanEarth · 56-60, M
I lost a friend from the 3rd or 4th grade 10 years ago.

It was like losing my brother. We were closer then brothers.

He ripped out my heart.
HumanEarth · 56-60, M
Every year I call him. Every year he hangs up on me.

To me: he is still my best friend.

To him: I don't know what I am anymore to him

40 year friendship out the window
PoeticPlay · 51-55, M
All of the time.

I mourn them and then get back to living.
