When is it time to end a friendship?

I think, when someone has broken your trust. If someone has betrayed you, and you let him/her know how hurt you are, and yet they do it again, then it is time to say goodbye. It doesn't mean you can never see that person again, but the friendship will no longer be as close as it once was. Instead this person will become more of an acquaintance. And I know it is hard, if you have been friends for a long time. But at least take a break. It's possible this person could see their wrongs and change. Then maybe, down the road, you could be friends again.

Not just trust. Lack of respect. One way deals.

I would say when they keep dragging you DOWN instead of lifting you up.

Sometimes, ending a friendship, is absolutely necessary for your peace of mind and heart. At the time, it can feel heart and gut wrenching. But, if done for the right reasons, it can be freeing and liberating. It is okay to grieve and mourn the loss of the friendship, just keep in mind the real reason it was necessary to end the relationship.

You have to end a friendship when the friend is jealous and toxic spreading rumors and hurting you behind your back..

I definitely needed to hear this, Marie! I've been friends with someone who I thought I could trust for not too long, but for a while he was cool, then he just betrayed me out of the blue. I began to notice how we grew more & more distant. If he doesn't try to make things work neither am I because I've tried & he just ignores me, so I'm done✋. It hurt to let our friendship go because I. The short time we were friends I thought we had a strong bond, but now he's more of an acquaintance.

The second you don't trust a 'friend' Marie, it no longer even matters what happens down the road.

I had a friend who loved me very much and cared deeply about me. However she also was needy to the point I got nervous and extremely upset when she called me because I didn't want to see her. I felt like a horrible person when I ended our friendship because she never really hurt me, but I just couldn't take it anymore. She treated me like I was her boyfriend not her friend, alwayas wanting to be together, acting mad when I changed our plans, and honestly suffocating me with her friendship... It is the worst feeling knowing that you have hurt someone who respects you and has been nice and supporting by cutting them away but sometimes it is the only solution

This is going to be hard for me but I got to do what I go to do

When they start verbally attacking your family and making a mockery out of you.When they are liars and use you for their benefit. When they insult you in front of others. When they stab you behind your backs.

Friends come and go in life that's for sure things happen in life

I ended a friendship recently. She was my best friend since the fourth grade. However, she started to become best friends with another one of my close friends. I didn't mind it, but then they started to leave me out. Planning lunch together, even going to Big Bear! I really loved them and I didn't want to end our friendship. So I confronted them about it. Immediately my close friend said sorry and hugged me and promised to never do it again. The person who I thought was my best friend picked at her nails and hid behind my close friend, not caring whatsoever. Of course this broke my heart. She told all my friends I am annoying and that I need to get over myself. She doesn't care at all that I stopped hanging out with her. I didn't know she could be so cruel, I thought at least she would feel sorry. But nope. She made new friends and even claimed they were better than me. I'm so glad that that friendship ended because now I know how much she ACTUALLY cares about me.

When you know you've been hurt so many times, by this person, there is 0 trust & when they're not even sincerely and genuinely sorry for hurting you, I think then, it's a good idea to walk away.

Giving up a bad friendship leads to at least one good new friendship, if not more than one. If it's a toxic "friendship", don't waste time. Run.

Mutual Love.
Mutual Care.
Mutual Respect.
Mutual Trust.
Intimacy, progession, balance and shared core values...
...these are the cornerstones of any good relationship.

I dropped a 20 year friendship. She was completely selfish, an emotional vampire, she only gave me the time of day when she needed shoulder to cry on. I never ask her for anything, i'm an independent person but I was planning to leave my now ex behind, i told her please be there for i really need a friend. All of a sudden the calls stopped, she never picked up the phone, when she did she let me know that she was out with her other friends shopping with her 2500 dollars she got. so i dumped her.

I ended a friendship with a guy I knew since 8th Grade. He was once a real friend, but as he & I grew into adulthood, he became untrustworthy.  He'd borrow money and not pay it back, back out of agreements we made such as being somewhere to do something.  Then he began only calling me when he wanted something like to borrow money, a ride to work or the airport.  I'd invite him places like to Curling games and such, but he almost always declined.  Then, he gets married. I went and rented a Jaguar to drive him & his wife to the hotel in, yet he still only called me when it was to his benefit.  So, I finally gave up on him.  It's been 9 months since I last heard from him.  ...And he still hasn't paid back the $400 he owes me.

I've had to let go of some people do to their lifestyle and personality changes that didn't work out 4 me. But when some left my life new ones came in.
