Everyone has friends. Everyone has many different kinds of friends. Sometimes good friends turn into best friends or even boyfriends or girlfriends, and sometimes best friends turn into frenemies, or even ex-friends.
What makes two people go from being good or even best friends to ex-friends or acquaintances? It's terribly sad. There must be a breaking point though...it can be that simply distance makes a friendship fail, but I don't believe that because one of my very best friends and I went away to college and saw each other maybe twice during those four years and we are just as close, if not closer now. I believe something has to happen. Not necessarily a fight, maybe just a different opinion on a certain subject, or maybe lives just go in different directions and one gets left behind. However it happens, it's sad. That's all there is to it, it's sad. The even sadder part, that I've come to notice, sometimes after one friend gets OUT of a relationship where the couple had a mutual friend, those friendships deteriorate. Maybe not immediately, or even with both people in the relationship, but eventually there is a loss of friendship. Even sadder, the initial friends are sometimes the ones whose friendship doesn't last, and this new person who was brought into their lives through a relationship remains friends and simply takes them away. Maybe that's life ?
I love my friends, I would do almost anything for them at almost any given time. However, when I have "friends" who blatantly disregard my feelings and make me feel like the one in the wrong or make me feel like I'm over reacting or being dramatic, sorry sweetie, our friendship is speeding down hill at an increasing rate and you have no idea it's even happening until it's going to be too late.
