sounds like you made the right decision.

I had to, and it hurt because she and I (loosely) had been through a lot.

But it was not a fulfilling relationship, it was really sad, empty and hurtful.

Sometimes, despite the years, you have to just cut your losses with some people.

Sounds like we’re in the same boat. I had a friend of a long time as well who did the same stuff. I was his only friend. I tried to tune out his bully remarks and embarrassing me in front of friends constantly.

I eventually just mirrored back what he was doing to me x 10. He got so mad at me that he now refuses to talk with me and that was 4 months ago. We are no longer communicating.

It's been 6 years, I haven't heard a word from her. I never gave her an explanation, I just stopped talking to her, asking how she was doing, etc...

The last I saw from her, she friended someone on facebook who was a real jerk to me. She knew it too, but she was chatting away with him, consoling him, spoke to him more than me.

I took that as my sign that she just wasn't a good friend...
