I look at friendship as something that evolves and changes with you, so sometimes you just move on. You leave it on good terms but you just grow apart and sometimes some MoFo borrows money and nevers repays it but ends up buying a new car and then invites you to his/her wedding and expects a gift but you don't give one because you made peace with yourself that that money that was owed to you is now the wedding gift but I digress.
Well, mostly friendships have just faded away, but occasionally it's healthier for both people to either cut contact completely or take a long hiatus. I had to do that with a long time friend due to...wedding related complications...I'm only restoring the connection now for the sake of my goddaughter, who is a lovely little girl. Maybe we will continue to be friends, maybe not, but at the time I needed to cut the cord. And it felt really good.
I agree with you both. My ex was in the military and it was a difficult lesson to learn that sometimes you're friends because of circumstance(s). You get moved around a lot and it's easy to lose touch, but that didn't diminish the realness or the importance of the friendship.
I've also had to cut ties, and yeah, it felt good. That particular friendship had really deteriorated and it felt like we were just friends because we'd known each other sooooo long. In a case like that it was pretty easy to let go.
Well, everything has it's season they say and I suppose the same can be applied to friendships. As you have all pointed out, sometimes friendships end with a whimper and other times with a bang. If you should, however, choose the bang option I've found a can of gas and a road flare to be just the ticket.
I'm in the process of letting a frienship fade into the sunset and it's the healthiest thing I've ever done.
vika's correct-sometimes friendships are based on circumstances, like work. Said friendship drove me into counseling and taught me a very hard lesson: I will NEVER let anyone get that close to me again.
