Do you still have friend that you met when your were in high school?Or even friends that you met when your were a little kid?Are you still as close to them now,as you were back then?What would you do if one day you were best friends with someone you had known for many many years,and then a situation came up to where you had to move away,even if it was just twenty minutes away,and all of a sudden someone you thought was your friend, never called you,never messaged you in any way,and always made excuses to not come visit you in your new home,because they did not like where you were living ?What would you do if you told them it was best to end the friendship so both of you could move on,and the friend stooped to childish tactics such as insulting your heritage,your home,and the person you were with,and blamed you for the friendship going down the drain?Would you insult them back,and tell them how it is,would you tell them in a nice way how it is,or would you ignore them,and ignore any contact they tried to make with you?And how would you feel,would you blame them?Would you blame yourself?Or would realize it is for the best?What would you do if you were invited to their house,and then told you could not come in because it was a mess,especially if you had to drive twenty minutes to get there?Me and my fiance have both suffered from this situation,and we still can not figure out why,mine was not as bad,since my friend just turned out to be a liar and he was always borrowing money from me and never payed me back,and once I cut ties with him,and he got lied to,he realized he was wrong,and now we are friends again,in my fiances case, her friend not only did she stoop to insulting my fiances heritage,and my heritage ,she insulted where we live,and she always made excuses to not come here,she was also always borrowing money from my fiance,and I think that when my fiance stopped giving her money she got mad,those are not the only reasons she decided to cut ties with them,it is also because one Sunday it was planned for us to go to her house,and when I say planned I mean a week in advance, and when we got there,we were told that her house was a mess,and that we could not go in my question is how could you forget that your house is a mess?And why would you not call and if you knew someone was coming over?Why would you not call and ask to reschedule?Plus when we got there,her friend was out quadding with another friend,so she was not even there,which is in my opinion rude,when you know you are going to have company,and her friend mis relayed a message from another friend,which I think was just a ploy to get us to leave,so she could go drink,We had all agreed to stop our nasty habits for a couple of hours so that we would not insult each other,what makes it worse,was we had two of my brothers with us,and we took two cars,so not only did we waste mine and my fiances gas,we wasted my brothers gas too,just so we could stand around in the heat for twenty minutes,listening to her friend talk. My brothers instantly had a dislike of her friends, and it really made my fiance feel like crap because she had promised a fun time,and all we got was stress.

Well I suppose you know the answer to the first question which is :Do you still have a friend that you met in high school? : I do not have any of the friends that I met throughout school because they have all proven to be more of a headache then anything. I don't think I need to answer any of the other questions as I am sure you know the answers that I will have. I am just glad that I have figured out who they truly were and with your help as well as your brother's have decided to stop our friendship. Have a Great day.

Hi hellcowboy.I did have a best friend back in school.I'm still friends with her and we're in the same college now,completing our last year of graduation.We haven't had that bad an issue as yet.But given your situation i guess just think of the whole thing as a mistake.No true friend will go to the extent the person you mentioned went to.So just keep your distance-speak to them only when they speak to you and just don't let it bother you too much.Maybe these people never intended well or are mixing with the wrong company in your absence.So you can take this experience as a warning to never fully trust anyone because you never know why they are as sweet as they first seem.So all i can say is- keep your distance but at the same time don't be rude if they talk to you.Show them you are the bigger person here.Cheer up and take care.

I am glad that you are still friends with your best friend from high school,and I agree it does seem like a mistake,and I agree no true friend would go to the extent her ex friend went too,and I agree we should not speak to them,and even if the speak to us we, should ignore them,and maybe they never intended well,but that is their choice,,and you are right,this is a good warning to never trust anyone fully,unless you are sure they can be trusted,and yeah we will definately show them we are the bigger person,thanks for responding, have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.
