Have you ever been "dumped" by a friend? How did that make you feel and how did you handle it?

I have never been "dumped" but I have dumped someone and I know that doing so is often just as hard because you have to deal with the repercussions of a friend being emotionally disturbed by your own doing. Yet, breaking up can be peaceful and I am in talking terms with many x's. Having a friend dump you instead of your actual boy/girl friend hurts more because what you really want is for your new x to show the courage and honor to make the relationship lower in intensity but not dwindle.

I have been dumped by friends before. I was unhappy because of the way that they chose to end friendships in cowardly manners versus talking with me about problems when they occured, or letting a friendship just die out (in which case you can still remember a friend happily without having a blotch, a mark of how the whole friendship is supposed to mean nothing since they said they never valued it, or something like this). I think if you go through this, you should give yourself time to grieve and feel angry, though don't do anything too drastic. Someone who would dump you as a friend probably doesn't deserve your attention, though you certainly should express your feelings if that will help you to move on. Then you should realize that it's their loss, not yours...they lost a good friend like you and you lost someone who was willing to dump you or maintain a fake friendship even though they knew it would hurt you in the end. Good luck.
