If the friendship isn't working, and if you have tried everything in your power to try and worth things out, and hasn't happend, then take it as a sign, telling you that it is time to move on. Trust your heart and instincts to guide you to make the right deciion. The way i had ended my frienship was rather challenging to say at the very least. The last discussion was on the interent(which personally i advice against, b/c it can complicate things, and make it more hurtful, face to face communication for the last time is more tactful and is better for healing purposes) I would advice to speak with your friend on neutral grounds, explain to her your feelings on your friendship. When i talked to my at-the-time friend, i told her that i wasn't happy nor was i comfortable with the friendship anymore. So after condsidering the friendships history, i made the best decsion for me,i told her that we should part ways, and move on. In retrospect, i believe that it was a healthy and mature decision for the both of us. Looking back at today, i don't regret it at all. During the friendship, i felt suffocated, felt like i had no room to breathe. No should feel that way in a friendship, that told me that the friendship was no good, and it needed to end. I have tried to make things work out between her and I, but the friendship was beyond repair. I told her those exact words that final conversation we had had over the internet, that it was beyonf repair when she has asked me ir we could mend the broken pieces and start anew, as she put it. I didn't give in, i stuck to my guns, and for that, i am a better person because of that. So the moral of this copious story is to, consider everything from your history of your friendship, ask yourself if you have done everything you could to make this work out, and if there were no postiive changes, then you know that it's time to move on. Don't feel dejected. Just because one door closes, doesn't mean that it's over. A door doesn't close before another one opens. So you are simply closing one chapter of your life, and beginning a brand new chapter, full of life's surprises. So hang in there, hoped i helped. Good luck!

Cont. i didn't mention this above. The friend i was talking about that i ended the frienship with, didn't take it well, but it reallty needed to happen. It wasn't worth going through so much stress, and dissapointment, so i did the right thing. I hope everything works out!

I've told "friends" that I no longer wanted to hang out with them anymore due to aspects I didn't want around me. One was too damn hyper and irresponsible, the other was jealous of my boyfriend and believed she shouldn't have friends that she thought would go no where in life because I didn't go to school for a week. They both had too much drama for what they had in their lives. We are all happily ignoring each other. :)

ya i dropped some friends cause they thought they were more important then my children and my wife and i still haven't looked back

Good on you for telling her how it is! As the saying goes "the truth hurts", she either had know idea how you felt, and didnt see what was coming or her ego took abit of a bruising.Hopefully she took onboard every thing you told her, if she was a true friend she'll listen to what went wrong and change, and come back, other wise your've just grown up and moved on, it happens all throughout life... Iv "grown apart" from alot of friends over the years, except looking back i could never put my finger on what happened,or went wrong, the distance just grew, and i saw less of them as time went on... Any way good luck, hope it goes well for you :)

Very recently actually. We worked together for 6 years and everyone around me noticied how she'd dress like me (even though she's alot older) etc but I didnt think much of it - she was my friend, if it made her happy so be it. Over the time we were friends 2 of the 4 guys i'd dated told me that when she got drunk she'd try it on with them. I asked her and she denied it so (being a good friend and really naive) I believed her. I cut my hair, she copied. I changed my lipstick, she copied. Bothered me a bit but not enogh to end our friendship. Then she tried it on with my current boyfriend (while in our place of work), he told me and again she denied it, said she'd never been near him. However, we have security cameras where I work and I had the sense to check them, watched her walk up to him and grab him by the front of his jacket, flirty body language etc (much to my amusement my other half looked horrified, and walked off). Needless to say we're no longer friends, and me and my boyfriend and going to be husband and wife next year!
