Where does the Line of Friendship End for You~?

It is strange that you bring up the matter of stained fabrics of friendship. I seem to have developed a knack for being used by my so called friends. I have been accused of hideous things, have been cheated openly and then called names...and worse that I wouldn't want to get into. Everytime something happens, a new resolution is born to not be a sucker again. And it lasts precisely as long as I see an arm stretched in my direction. Be it from another person or from the same person that drove a knife in the back. You can't blame the world when you are yourself a sucker...and I am proud to be one. After all, I go around saying "no one is so rich as to throw away a friend"... at least I am not.

in every relationship, trust is very important. i think my final line for friendship is when someone lost my trust in him because he would never ever bring it back.

I had a friend at one point who is a computer expert. He knows everything about computers and he promised to fix my computer within a short period of time. As I kept waiting he kept coming up with excuses for not fixing it and two years later I still have not received the computer back from him. He does not answer calls or reply to email. I ended my friendship with him a few months after he did this to me. He would only call me if he needed something from me and rarely did anything for me when I needed help.

Jusred, for me friends are always friends! I know and realized that very few persons are real friends one can easily count on fingers! Even though tremendous difference of opinion and other conflicts are there I have never stoped friendship from my side! If that person does not like or show that kind of attitude or avoid continuously then I will just reapect his or her indications of stoiping to meet or talk much and according that I will behave! But if he or she talk again with same responce and same touch then i will not count what he or she has done to me! I willl consider that as human's misunderstanding! Thats all!

I think it depends on how strong the friendship is and maybe the history of the friendship. If you are close and have been friends forever, you should be able to work it out in your own way. But if it is just a friend and you see ths as becoming a pattern in your friendship or you have tried telling your feelings and they disregard it, then you need to not only draw the line but to cross it. Real friends care about each others feelings. Isn't that the basis of friendship?

It would take something really awful for me to say goodbye to a friend forever. My best friend and I have had disagreements, where she has even insulted my beliefs, but we take some time "apart" to cool off and then come back together and avoid the "hot topics" that cause hurt feelings. I do not allow myself to be used or abused by anyone repeatedly, so to get to be someone I consider a friend, you need to not do the things that would cause our friendship to end. Hurt me one time and I will get over it, but do it again, especially in a relatively short time and we're through.

I think it might be common to forgive a first hurt.. or disloyalty.. but then if it happens again, it may be a habit with the person, and maybe it is better to not have that friend as they will only hurt and cause trouble. Of course even if the first instance was something very serious, I personally might not be hanging with that person anymore.. Actually I only see my friends 3 or 4 times a year.. and I like it like that! They are other couples.. When we get together we have a lot of fun doing so.. I don't make a very good bosom buddy, come to think of it.. my worst nightmare would be to have a neighbor (or friend) wanting to stop in all the time for coffee.. :))

When someone does something to me and really puts my life in danger, I draw the line.

I think I can really really relate to this discussion. I have a friend..a very close friend before actually. We used to hang out together. I was very busy with school that's why I seldom notice her but she really wants attention. Several events happened that really hurt my feelings. She was planning to revenge at me by doing the same thing to me. She calls me and talks some things that could hurt my feelings...she doesn't care much about me. That was the last straw for me. It's like she doesn't respect me anymore and to the point that she even wants vengeance. I couldn't save any relationship like that if she continues her bad attitude so I deleted her in friendster. She deleted me too and that was the end.

The Line of friendship never ends with best childhood friends, but with those whom we meet on the way of our daily lives, we may end that friendship mostly due to some misunderstandings or else with some other reasons, But true friends never end their line of friendship. If they end they again make a new start with new understandings every time they meet.

I don't know what's the borderline.I think just I can't stand I will abandon the friendship.

I think friendship doesnot end,in my views friendship is like circle which have no end,it will go onnnn
