  • Yes, many years ago while still in grade school. Kids can be pretty cruel.
  • a couple of times, yes
  • yes, i helped raise my friends three children, then she slept with my ex. we had grown up together and i never dreamed she could do such a thing but she did. we havnt spoken since.:-)
  • Of course! But the good news is that I got better and better at learning how to choose my friends.
  • Yep...but life goes on.
  • Yes, sadly.
  • Yes, and that is why I am so selective with people I call my true friends. I like to keep the ones I already have.
  • I have done it more often that i thought i would do unfortunatelly but not cause they deserve it though.. Im kind of distant.
  • nope, friendship is a mutualy beneficial arangement. when it is no longer beneficial to them I expect them to do what they must. now stabbing me in the back is a different story and would incite wrath.
  • Yes, but I don't need snakes as friends.
  • yes.. a lot. which is why I no longer trust anyone. They say if you have 1 TRUE friend in life who stays with you thru anything you are truly blessed. I find that most people are friends only when they benefit and when you need them for something they don't know who you are until they need something. These are the kind of people you don't need anyway.
  • yea, shortly after i was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, my wife left me and took the kids. i get to see the kids a lot. i thought that she was the love of my life, but apparently not. i remember seeing the play, "arsenic in old lace" - where two elderly women date and kill off old foggies. i was taken aback by the loudness and intensity of my wife's laughter as we left the theater. i conclude, while she turned her back on me in one of the most distressing periods of my life, i'm glad to know that, honestly, she couldn't or wouldn't have been able to handle it. given her response to the arsenic play, i presume that i'll probably live 20 years longer, too. woooosh, thank god!!!
  • Yes, of course. It has helped me a lot in better understanding people.
  • Yes, and I don't care- I will get more friends if my old ones leave.
  • Oh yeah......She is a very interesting study in human behavior. Went from calling me at least once a day, to nothing. Then when I told her that she was out of line about something she said in front of a club we all belonged to, she started a path of retaliation. We haven't talked since I went to the funeral for her Mom, BUT she was not caring enough to come to my Mom's funeral. Made me realize that she never really was a "true friend".
