People Who Ended Lifelong Friendships Are Revealing The Ugly Reasons They Chose To Walk Away Forever

25.

“My best friend of 19 years told me to go talk to a cute guy at a wedding. The guy and I hit it off and started a long-distance relationship. My best friend then gave me the silent treatment for no reason for three weeks, including over my birthday, because I told her that the guy and I were doing really well. She then started talking to me again, but never explained herself, and never apologized for acting like a child. She never said she was happy I was happy in a new relationship; she never showed any support. We started hanging out again, but I kept a safe distance emotionally, because why did she get upset about me starting a relationship with someone that she told me to talk to in the first place?”

“After a year and a half of hanging out again, I found out that she was still talking shit about my relationship behind my back. That was the final straw for me. Blocked her on everything and moved on. I actually have a lot less stress in my life since cutting her off. No longer best friend of 19 years.”
