Sad to End a Friendship

Today, I cut the friendship between me and a friend. I just noticed that he had changed and was ungrateful for the good deeds given to him. I cannot keep the relationship if a person cannot see the effort of making the friendship strong enough to withstand any challenges that may come along the way. I was not that affected because I was clouded with his wrongdoings towards me. Besides, he was the one who wanted to cut the tie. It is so easy for him to let go, right? As for me, I always practice this principle: "If you do not like me, then the more I do not like you." Can you end the relationship or friendship instantly? How do you handle individuals like these?

I can end the friendship instantly if the other person wrongs me but I will miss them after I'm over being angry with them. *shrug*

I think ending that relationship is a good choice you made. If a friend can't appreciate the effort you've done than just break up with such person. He is not worthy to be called a friend.

A few years ago I cut a frienship that had lasted decades. I realised that I had made all the efforts and she had done nothing. When I did that, I felt free and happy. Some relationships are absolutly toxic.

Sometimes the only thing to do is to cut ties.

I hadn't experience ending friendships not in a good terms. But some friends drifted away without a word. Maybe everyone gets to busy with each other life and priorities. Life just happen.

I would have handled it exactly as you did. This life is too short to be unhappy about anyone or anything.

I don’t think I’ve ever had to end a friendship.
