Breaking Up With Friends?

Question

Is it best to pretend your busy or cut the calls short?

I mean if you state the reason why you are breaking up with them it will give them more reason for offense, or reason to see what they are doing wrong? So, do you feel it is best to let a friendship to die slowly by not returning calls or if upon meeting each other, just to be blunt and to the point??

Answer 3

No dont act like you are busy be blunt and just say the truth, depending on why your friendship is dying i think it is best you leave on good terms. At least give your friend that. then it will jus be awkward you dont want to leave things messy. and so what if they get more reason for offense. if you dont want to be "fredns" any more jus stik to it. but really a frendship that dies was never a frendship at all so what does it matter?

Answer 4

Yikes! This is a hard one. I'm in the middle of trying to "break up" with a friend as we speak.

Yes, yes I know people say you should just lay it down but that is easier said than done. And people do get defensive and find it hard to say sorry or admit when they're wrong.

Honestly-I've just been separating myself from the so called friendship slowly. In my situation the person hasn't even realized what is going on. Let it die out slowly, this avoids drama and any chance of a bad argument.
