Friendship can end for a large no of reasons ranging from small ones to real serious ones . Its hard to pin point or come to aprticular class of reasons . Friendships can end for falling inlove with the same girl or boy , they can end when you are in the same field and excel your friend professionally , they can end when the dependence on each other ends , they can end due to increased physical distance resulting in decreased interactions , they can end when someone says you are a burden to me , they can end when someone says you have runied my life , they can end due to humour gone bad , they can end due to some accidentally produced insulting remark , they can end due to end of faith , they can end when one person is totally out of money , they can end as we grow up into differnt kinds of personalities , with iffernce in social starture , if one person becomes something like a celebrity and other is a frog of unknown muddy waters . To be honest if it ends it was not a true friendship to start with , for true friendship is unconditional !

The reasons why a friendship might come to an end because of the following... Due to distance - i don't think so it might affect your friendship as long as you communicate with each other and eventhough your far apart but deep inside your hearts that your friends and forever it will be as long as you believe one another there's no way to end the friendship that you have. Fight - Maybe it depends if it is a serious fight that can break each other's trust maybe that's one of the reasons why a friendship would end. And if ever you want to save your friendship it would take time to gain the trust. Jealousy - Maybe not, because its a simple thing which you can talk over to let each other understand. Honesty - Yes I think so because its very important for friendship to be honest for one another no secrets to keep.

I think you will lose your friends when you are honest with him. I have experience for that and from that day I promised to be an honest friend. Honesty is great part of true friendship that is why it must not be taken for granted.

I dont think friendship ends. You might get separated for a long time let say years after a misunderstanding or a big fight, still time heals and will forgive and forget everything and be friends again. But there will be some changes, like your friendship will never be the same again as what they say you can not put back on the broken glass.
