The Shocking Moments That Shattered 82 Lifelong Friendships Forever
Last year, his girlfriend threw him out, so he stayed at my house for two weeks. He acted like he owned the place. I just can’t.
He embezzled $10,000 from my brother and thought we wouldn’t figure it out.
Over 30 years, he became snarky and insulting. All jokes were directed at me. And then he put the icing on the cake by telling me that he’s hated me all those years. Jerk.
I realized he wasnt being a good friend and just stopped talking to him. He was selfish and turned everything into a contest. It was toxic and annoying. IDK why I was friends with him in the first place.
He dumped everyone for a girl. When the girl dumped him he’d come crawling back. Got tired of it.
She started sleeping with the guy I used to see. When him and I ended things, I was distraught and cried to her about it. Maybe a year later I find out through another friend that they are seeing each other.
She was upset that my birthday/ welcome home party was all about me. We were best friends and co-workers. She admitted she was jealous of the career path I took, which was open to her too, but she prioritized her relationship. But then she tried to sabotage my project and I realized we were no longer friends.
He went too far into religion, to the point that he started judging everything I did because it wasn’t “appropriate according to the Bible”. Ok buddy, be happy with your own company.
She saw where I lived.
I grew up in a decent mobile home park, her parent owned an oil company and lived in a penthouse suite.
After our grad class bush party night I offered for us to sleep the day off at my parent’s place as it was just down the mountain, and she was surprised that a “tinder box” can actually be nice inside. Afterwards, I wasn’t wealthy enough for her to continue being friends with me, lol.
She kept sending me confessions despite me telling her for YEARS that I’m straight. Soon I found out from our mutual friend that she showed stalkerish behavior towards me and that they cut her off because they thought it was creepy how she kept talking about me in every single one of their conversations. She would add me using 5 dummy accounts and used the names of her family and even one of our friend, she would keep sending me follow requests on my dump account despite me cancelling it every time, she sent me a love letter on my gmail despite me not telling anyone what my gmail is, and she sent follow requests on people that are closest to me. Worst of all? She kept trying to bring back our close bond instead of respecting my decision to end our friendship.
I don’t know.
I love her so much. I wish she would’ve told me what I’d done, because I would’ve done all I could to fix it.
Just thinking about this. She stopped talking to me since dating her MAGA boyfriend.
They didn’t respect my boundaries. My
Mother in Law used to call these ppl “the takers” they take and take but never give and I was over it. Once the boundary was put in place, she wanted to continue to take and I said “no”.
She was a heavy drinker. Most of our hangouts involved me being a DD and us hanging out at bars and her drinking too much. I started to feel
like I was enabling her poor choices and when I talked to her about it she didn’t see it as a problem so I thought it best to move on from eachother.
It was toxic and manipulative.
I realized I did more of the reaching out. And they eventually stopped responding to me.
Just drifted overtime.
We had one break when he just completely ghosted me over an argument. We didn’t see each other for about two years. Then we repaired on the grounds that I would be understanding that his depression sometimes meant he wouldn’t always be able to keep up his obligations and promises. I agreed on the condition that he just needs to tell me when he needs a break from me or needs to cancel. No problem. No questions asked.
A day before I asked my wife for a divorce, he ghosted me with no explanation.
Now if he comes back, Im not taking the bait.
Friends don’t just go radio silent and refuse to respond for months.
Without being dramatic or getting into specifics, the vast majority of friendships fail because they cannot survive a test of time and distance. When you start seeing someone less, when it starts taking concerted effort to remain connected, the smallest thing can happen to make that friendship ‘not worth maintaining.’.
