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*

It's sad to end a friendship. Sorry to hear that, but hope it's better for you.
I never really "officially" end a friendship, but sometimes friends come and leave, and when they choose not to contact me often, then slowly.... friendship faded, especially when we relocated at different places, we moved into different stages, our thoughts and mindsets went apart.... I used to feel sad about that, but then I realized and learned that it's just part of life. I tried to maintain the relationship, but sometimes when the other party didn't feel like it, then I just had to let go and move on.
Time and energy are limited, and they will be lesser and lesser when we age, so focus on something we think are worth it. Just move on.... ^_^

@Shavkat Focus on what really matter to us.
I recently read about a book "Let Them Theory" by Mel Robbin. The "let them" concept really helps me.as I used to feel stress about others..... "Let them do what they want, let me do what I want". 
Have a good day!

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

@Shavkat I don’t really have friends outside of the internet.

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.

Yes, with ease, do it, move on

Ignore them.
No contact, nothing
And I have to say that je ne regret rien

A really thick skin
Nothing can get through it
Except direct dialogue
Say what on your mind

it's never easy but people don't leave you choice. they also leave you first or remember you when it's too late and that doesn't work for you even though they apologised so many times.

@Shavkat i'm writing this about my family members and while the world is harsh to us, it's awful when the closest to us betray us, wound us and they are doing it again and again. the only family member with whom i had some kind of contact, i decided i can't give her another chance. it's too painful for me and she had never taken me seriously or my problems.

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.

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