Well the one thing you need to do before you go cutting them out of your life is talk to them. Let them that this is very rough time for you and you need your friends by your side. You never know....they could be going through something very rough themselves. There are a lot times that i'm dealing with issues and i don't tell anyone because i'd rather keep it to myself. I've had friends come to me and tell me that they felt like i wasn't being there for them and i had to explain that I was having some issues of my own and i was sorry that i wasn't there for them. I'd try harder but at least that person knew if something came up and I wasn't able to be theRE i had a reason. You dont' just cut them out for any old reason. I would talk to them and see what's going on. If at that point nothing has been resolved I would let it go.

You do make a good point however this is not the case. I understand people do go through rough times but when you can't be there for good reasons they don't understand. Reasons that are sometimes out of your control. They don't care and their actions prove it. It's them and their lives that matter to them and only them. Dealing with people who say they care and want to help but do nothing to prove this speaks volumes. I'm learning who is a true friend and who is fake everyday it seems. Broken promises along with the lies can only be tolerated for so long and then it's time to wake up!

For future reference...Broken promises and lies combined should NEVER be tolerated. Keep that in mind. A broken promise happens all the time. I never really pay attention to those because like I've said in almost every post I've done so far we are human...But when someone promises and then breaks a promise with lies theres an issue. And more than likely they will do it again and again and again. Learn from someone who may not be that old but I've learned a lot in te 20 years I've been on this eatrth. I think I know first hand what broken promises and lies can bring.

Sometimes our friends don't really understand what we're going through or they may not exactly know how to deal with what we are going through. They may also be going through stuff and so may not be there as much as we would like them to be. Friends can only do so much. We may need more than our friends can give us. And yes, some friends only are there when they need us.
