If you’ve managed to keep the same best friend for decades, you’re incredibly fortunate. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a bestie that stands by their side through thick and thin. And it’s not just about will power, as friendship is a two-way street. Both parties need to be thoroughly invested in the relationship, or it will eventually begin to crumble.
Redditors have been sharing stories of the nail in the coffin of some of their former friendships, so we’ve gathered their most heartbreaking tales below. While it’s never easy to experience a friendship breakup, it can teach a person valuable lessons and prevent them from experiencing even more pain in the future. So we hope you’ll learn something from these cautionary tales, and be sure to upvote the people that you believe are better off without their former “friends.”

3 of my friends have constantly given me non-committal answers when I asked them to hangout, the last straw was when I asked if they were free on a Saturday, and then next week they all talked about how they hung out together on Sunday.
It's been 8 months since one of them has been to my house, it's too bad my wife thinks I should keep giving them chances.

It was me, I split a year ago during a BPD episode and blocked her. I've tried to reach out but [understandably] I was left on read.
