Yup. I’ve lived through multiple friend break-ups.
Some might say that they’ve never been lucky with love. I, on the other hand, can say that I’ve never been lucky with friendship. I mean, I do have really good friends in my life at the moment and I am really thankful for them. We don’t have to speak every day or see each other every month to maintain our relationship. And when we do see each other, it feels like we were together the day before. However, to get to my current friendships, I’ve had to literary break-up with some friends.

She/he needs to know where and with who you are at all times, she/he blatantly tells you that you looked like a hooker with that new top of yours, she/he doesn’t approve of your new boyfriend and the list goes on. This was perhaps the hardest break-up for me because it was one of the longest friendships I’ve had. I got attached not only to her, but to her family as well.
