“I walked off, leaving her standing there bawling loudly.

I never looked back.”

Sometimes ending a friendship is necessary, no matter how hard and painful it is.

She got caught and knew I was mad at her but never reached out.

My only regret is that I was yelling and cussing a lot, for that I blame the alcohol.

Everything else that came out of my mouth, I meant wholeheartedly.

The next day we texted a couple of times.

I apologized for cussing at her so much but never apologized for lying.

30 years gone just like that."

“I had a friend who kept telling me how she wished her husband would die.

Being a widow myself, I told her to watch what she wished for.

Sadly and unexpectedly, her husband did die at the age of 69.

All of a sudden she wanted me to be her support.

I refused because of the horrible things she said about her deceased husband.”

It is going on one year of me ending our friendship of 30 years.

“I had a best friend for years we went through college, graduate school, and marriages together.

I could not carry a pregnancy to term, so my husband and I adopted three amazing children.

It was really hurtful but I knew she was in pain.

Ultimately, she got divorced and started dating like crazy.

That was it for me.

I had three beautiful children, I tried for years to have her be part of their lives.

Once I realized only a man could offer that to her, that was that.”

I was suddenly sick and had surgery.

It was discovered that I had a rare cancer and had to have chemo.

They acted like teenagers while there, he even showed me his underwear!

We were all 30 years old."

“Throughout my year of illness, she never returned my calls or came to visit.

I walked off, leaving her standing there bawling loudly.

I never looked back.”

“My God this hits home.

I have ended three very long-term friendships in the past couple of years.

Blocked on social media on the phone everywhere.

“I lost two best friends within one year.

I realized she was just a fair weather friend, and just went full no contact.

My life is better for it.”

“I lost my college best friend after we moved in together to her apartment.

She kept stealing my food and denying it, things escalated after my unopened jar of Nutella went missing.

I called her right away and confronted her.”

She started restricting what kitchen stuff (pots, pans, bowls, utensils!)

I could use since everything was hers and she didn’t want me ruining them.

I noped out of there and our friendship as soon as I could.”

She denied it all although I had screenshots.

I cut her off and never looked back its been three years."

“I had a girl I worked with for 15 years with whom I became very close.

A few years ago, we both got new jobs for different companies at the same time.

“I settled a personal injury lawsuit stemming from a car accident that has left me with lifelong issues.

A month later, she tried to manipulate me into lending her money.

I told her no and haven’t talked to her since.”

All my other friends were so confused and infuriated on why my main support was so absent.”

I didnt even remember the joke at all, and she apparently couldnt/wouldnt communicate about it for two months?

I ended the friendship.

It was so hard because she was my main support for so long and I treasured her.
