30 Internet Users Spill The Tea About Why They’re No Longer Friends With Their BFFs

She was the most moody person I had ever met. Literally had to watch every word and try to keep her happy or she would legit pout like a child. Also could never be wrong, or make a mistake; it was always someone else’s fault. We worked side by side and her attitude at work was awful too. No one liked her cause she was so rude to them and I got tired of defending her when she just disrespected me too and my experience there. All I ever tried to do was help, but after a while it’s exhausting to be talked to like s**t. She also was late every day, would miss weeks at a time and just generally didn’t care that we relied on her to do her job, or we had to do it ourselves. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back, the complete and utter disrespect for anyone’s time or help.

He joined the military, then within a few months he wifed up the first chick that paid him any attention. She didn't want him in contact with any of his friends, so we didn't talk for a while. Then he was deployed somewhere I don't remember for like 6 months or so and we started talking over PlayStation a lot during that time. He went back home and found out she had another guy move into his house, had packed up all his s**t and told him to leave.

And then about 2 months later he was engaged again. And same story, she didn't want him talking to his friends, blah blah blah. She also cheated on him, so he got divorced again. It was then that he finally realized he was jumping into marriages too quickly.

So he waited almost 6 whole months to get engaged again. We haven't talked in about 11 years. I just didn't have it in me to keep trying.

I moved abroad for a year and changed as a person. Everyone else said it was for the best, I’m so much happier now than I was. She was the only person that said I changed for the worse.

Dude wouldn't accept that I refused to give into highschool norms. He went full into "be popular, fit in with the popular kids, your interests aren't cool and that's not OK," and I was like "I don't care about that, I have friends that like me for who I am and I'd rather be myself than fake," and that was not OK to him and I had to be corrected. It didn't help that he also didn't want me being friends with my current best friend (I could be saved but he couldn't and associating with him meant I wouldn't be accepted by the cool kids, or something like that). It got to a point where I was like "dude I don't want to be your friend anymore, get out of my life." He'd try to say "no I'm just trying to help you, don't throw our friendship and your future away over being a social outcast," and I'm like "no I want to be weird, this is who I am, I'm not ashamed of my interests and expression, and if you can't accept that then I don't want to talk to you." He kind of abandoned the entire friend group we were a part of since we all were "proud geeks," and I know the falling out with his other close friend was pretty bad (we commiserated about his foolishness towards us).

He eventually apologized and we're civil now (before it was "bad divorce" levels of tension), and I'm sure if we met each other at some reunion we'd be fine (I honestly had to dig into my memories to remember why we had a major falling out), but yeah the only thing that was socially hard about highschool was his nonsense (I actually won the most unforgettable popularity contest because people liked me so much).

Hung out with a dude all the time, and in a small, rural town, it was nice to meet a fellow alienated metal head. Over time, he became so fixated on a woman that it was simply unhealthy. Eventually, he summoned up the urge to ask her out, and they started dating.

As you can imagine, I got dropped like a bad habit as she nurtured his worst tendencies. Pretty soon, he was almost completely unrecognizable…he was a Trumper before Trump: a massive racist who just railed against anyone who wasn’t white. Then he started to drink a lot.

The irony is that they were together for about 5 years and then she dumped him. He now lives alone in a little shack out in a county and draws unemployment because he can’t drive from the large number of DUIs he earned. And, from what I can gather, he couldn’t keep a job for very long because pretty much anyone he talks to finds him abhorrent.

After ten years of friendship I treasured with a delightful man my father's age, he made a sexual pass at me. It's just... d**n. He was the only lasting friendship I'd had in my entire life. Now all ten years of that is gone, because I can never know he wasn't looking at me that way from the start


Edit: since some troglodytes can somehow still read enough to whine about this, the pass was pulling me in for a hug and telling me he could feel my breasts against him :).

We were kids (10 or so years old), but it was so important for him to make friends with the cool kids that he willingly signed up to be their jester/black sheep for 2 years until he was just "part of the group". I know his mum constantly pushed him to get into the rich cool kids group but d**n, watching him let them treat him like s**t nonstop just broke me. Enjoy your life Ethan, hope it was worth losing your integrity and self worth.

She gossiped about and judged me and others - it became intolerable.

His life kept shrinking smaller and smaller and smaller to the point that all he ever did was drive the same route to work and back and then sit at home, smoking cigarettes and watching television. Since I don’t watch television or smoke cigarettes, it got to the point where we just sit there and have nothing to say. It was really sad.

Competing over a love interest. More than once.
