Burning Bridges

I think I burned a bridge with a ex-friend and the situation that made her an ex one. I had gone to live with her for a few months. Things happened that made me have to move back home. I gathered MY stuff and moved back here. About a month later this so called friend was emailing me that I had better return her stuff or she was contacting the authorities. SHOCK. I never took anything of hers. I was a very good friend to her. She had to work and I would take her lunch. I was helping her financially by living there. She made it impossible for me to stay and then accused me of stealing from her. No, that's not the way I am. I had to burn that bridge. She had always been alittle off and this was just the last straw. I still wonder what made her feel she needed to accuse me of stealing. I will never know but I did know I could not stay in communication with someone like this. It is still very hurtful and something I will probably never fully understand.

I haven't just burned bridges, I've firebombed them. I can't say that I actually regret any of them, either. The people left on the other side are ones that were not especially good to have in my life. I don't want them and their various issues back in my life.

Not to me, although I have called a few people's bluffs. On occasionally father has threatened to disown me, or other members of the family over certain trivial things. I just took it in stride, and promised myself that if it actually happened, I'd think of reasons why I would not need "a person who'd disown me." Fortunately he never went through with it, but when faced with that threat by someone, the first thig do instead of begging, is to try and adapt. Afterall, I want to take the threat out of their threat. Sure I'd miss him if he ever went through with it, and this threat only happened once or two times, but if it were to happen, and the bridge were to be turned, I'd have to think of how I'd cross that bridge BEFORE I came to it.

Hi friend, you are right, in some situations we can make instant decisions, but we must avoid this kind of activity, mostly this kine of instant decisions are wrong and give some unwanted problems to us. We must be very careful while taking important decisions in our life
