When our feelings get too strong for a friend, it is always wise to stop for a while, take a deep breath and think about the good memories you have had. Take time to use both heart and mind to weigh the situation based on reason and not on emotion. Once friendship is broken it is hard to join it back together.

Hello there! Well I also believe that it is important in friendship to know how much you can trust him/her and for that one need to think about the bond you are sharing with that person, we cannot always be emotional but sometimes being practical can solve many unwanted difficulties we might meet during our friendship.

In some instances yes. But there must be efforts to regain it. In my case, whatever we had with my estrange friends were patched up as time goes by. Sometimes, one just need time and space to take things through.

As important as loyalty is, our friendships don't always have it. Enter forgiveness. Every friend you'll ever have will eventually disappointed you. Count on it. That doesn't mean that every offense of a friend requires forgiveness. Some slights need only be overlooked and forgotten. Winston Churchill's mother, Jennie, understood this when she said,' Treat your friends as you do your pictures, and place them in their best light'.
