Well depends as would need the whole story and to know there background to say... From what you say Id ask there end and just keep them at arms length and observe what they say! Been a few posts like this today so you aint alone.

think of it this way....even your best friends and closest family members will have some differences in opinion sometimes...your not the same person...be glad you see eye to eye on other things.

If you've known them for 10 years++, then you should have seen them act this way toward others if they "have issues or they are just snakes". You should know that almost everyone has issues, of some sort. Most don't result in hitting and headbutting, of course, even accidentally. If you wish to save the 10+year friendship, you need to find a way to talk to them. Ask them what the problems are that they are dealing with. If they don't wish to talk to you about them, then leave them be for a while, until you think they've "settled down" or dealt with those issues. Again, a 10+year friendship is not something to just throw away. You should know if they are truly snakes, or just having problems. It's ultimately up to you ... How do you feel about the potential loss of this friend? Can you handle the disrespect, if it's temporary? Have they acted this way before, or toward anyone else? Think about it. 10+ years is a long time to be friends, simply to throw it out with the wash. Good luck.

A true friend is going to be there for you, going through the battles and waves of life. Many we call friends are merely people we know for years but could really give a rip because the focus is not on the friendship, it is on themselves and what they can get out of the relationship. If they're not showing some of these characteristics, draw a border and trade up.
