I had this friendship that was twenty plus years long. We had our fair share of good times, we had a blast.

I chose to leave this twenty plus year friendship, for me. Don 't get me wrong, I love her very much, I always will. Though now I feel we have come to a point in our lives, where we are way too different to keep going.

It started with a "fight". Though in my opinion, I think it started with her trying to tell me how to live MY life. She shared an opinion, of something I should be doing, which is fine. You are more than welcome to tell me your opinions. What happened afterwards is what made me rethink our whole friendship (least the last two/three years). She apologized and she said (I quote) "I totally understand how u feel and I 'm …show more content…

But like she said "you only know what I tell you". She may have thought she knew Jason 's and I 's situation. But honestly our friendship had a lot of negative talk (bad habit to get into), so when I talked about Jason and I, I was negative and sad, paranoid, but she always agreed with me, so I stayed in the negative. Jason and I are happy, obviously when something happens hurt takes over... but we are trying to get better, but her to throw in my face that he 's going to do whatever again, is messed up to me. In that moment, I knew she was never my friend (least not when we resumed our friendship in 2012) I think she was still hurt from the previous "fight", but I apologized to the best that I could to her and supported her in everything she did. I don 't know what more I could of …show more content…

I pay bills, put food on my table, pay for my cat and necessities.. so to me. Her opinion and harshness of it all made no sense to me. I am not hurting anyone, Jason and I are happy. It 's not like I have to go on the streets to get food or something. I mean if Jason had come to me, then yes, obviously it is a problem. But he did not. She does not live with us or even in this town, so for her to have such a HUGE opinion on something, that she really knows nothing about, bothered me. Especially when she said she supported

The key to their friendship is to have a sense of fun, not let too much time go by without contacting each other, and to support each other in their endeavors. In today 's society, it can be hard to find friends that really genuinely love, support, and wants what is best for you.

    Then on January 18th we started texting about our issues. My friend had not been very nice lately, and she had changed since she was my buddy in crime in elementary school. So, we started texting about our issues. I was about to send the text, “Gtg”, and go downstairs for dinner, when she sent a text saying, “I don’t think we should be best friends anymore.” As soon as the text lit up on my phone screen, I started sobbing. I was heartbroken, destroyed, and most of all, disappointed. My best friend since 2nd grade had told me she didn’t want to be my best friend anymore, and ever since then, it really did feel like that. I was lucky if I ever felt that we were just acquaintances. This text devastated me. In most situation, if you make a friend in early elementary school, usually you’re friends and you stay friends forever, and get closer year by year. But, in my case, that fate did not happen. My best friend turned around on me and said she didn’t want to be my best friend anymore. So I realized that even though friends can promise things, you never know what will happen to a friendship five years in the future, but if friends are loyal to you, a friendship could last a

    When I was a young girl in elementary school I developed a friendship with a girl that lived a block from me. We began visiting each other’s homes every day. Having sleep overs, riding the bus together and even sitting with each other during lunch. We developed a friendship that couldn’t be broken. It didn’t matter that I was African American and she was Caucasian her whole family made me feel like I was one of their own. While I didn’t know much about anything and didn’t really know what family meant I learn it from her family. She taught me how to line dance and I learn to love his strange music that was peaceful and full of love called country music. It had a way of making your feel happy when you were down. We formed a bond and became best friends she was the only friend I had and I remember when her other friends came to visit I grew kind of jealous because I thought they would take her away from me and I would be all alone again so I became distant. She was such a great friend and for somehow she knew what was bothering me without me even having to say anything so she told me that it shouldn’t worry we will always be friends and it’s okay to have more than one best friend. She was so wise for her age I use to think to myself. As I grew older my mother and siblings and I moved out of town and I lost connection with her but with the increased technology like Facebook we have reconnected. I believe attraction played a major part on us becoming friends. Our friendship started on the school bus on the ride home from school. A couple of bullies started picking on her because of her freckles and fi...

After the meal, I continued to chew gum with my mouth opened when shopping with her. She then decided to keep a farther distance from me so that people would think we were not together. At the end of the hangout, I debriefed her by explaining that what I did was just a part of an experiment I had to do for my psychology class.

    She blamed me, said she took pity on me and that she didn’t want to be with me but return to the side of my friend. I then understood why people say the express “thrown under the bus”, because it feels like your heart was being rolled over by an immensely large object the size of a bus. What do you do when the love turns to hate. When trust is lost in your most trustful friend. I didn’t want revenge, I just wanted to erase her from my life.

We both played on the same youth basketball team. We were both arrogant and bratty kids, who thought that the world revolved around us. With that much personality, problems were bound to happen. We made fun of each other and occasionally got into scuffles. Fortunately like all humans, we grew up and found a common bond that grew into a friendship.
