If You’ve Ever Had To Cut Off A Toxic Friend, These 26 Stories Might Hit Too Close To Home

“A friend and I went on a weekend trip together. They were stingy when it came to splitting the cost of the house, which I didn’t care about at the time. I had the money. But before we went, I said directly to him that if he blacked out like he always did, he better hope he knew the code to the door because I was not babysitting. We are in our late 30s. It happened the first night, and it nearly ruined the trip. It was a group trip, and he was the only one who couldn’t keep it together.”

“The next morning, he woke up like nothing happened and was in a sour mood for most of the day, while the rest of us had fun. Whatever. It happened the second night, and I knew from that moment that this friendship had run its course. 

We haven’t spoken since, and I don’t miss the friendship at all. I like drinking and having fun, but his dependency on both friends and alcohol was something I no longer wanted in my life.”
