Is it right?????????? I had this friend in my graduation, who promised to be my friend till she became granie.. She didn't keep on her words.. She just stopped talking to me for no reason, exactly 2 months later she made this promise.. Folks, is it right on her part to do so? U may say i would have done some act against her or would have betrayed her, but no, i sware i did not do anything of that sort!! Then why she had to do it?? How will you feel if something so happens with you?? Someone very close to your heart did this to you, may it be anyone for that sake........

Very few people get stuck to promises. They take the promises to their heart they feel upset if they break the promises. For some eople giving promises is the way of life and feel they need for follow it. They must have made the promises our of enthusiasm and to please the people who surround them. It is better not to make the promises and once made it should be kept up to maintain the reputation. It reflects the honesty of a person.

Dear friend, Thanks for your comments. I endorse your views. In fact it is purely our personal commitment and others get involved in it. So one has to be careful in making the promises.

"Ssh".... I feel exactly they way you do and kept on words. Infact all my friends and family members trust me for the way i keep up my words. Infact i had one of my another friend saying, "Promises are made to break, and you are a fool if you still counting on it." These words really hurt me but i never broke even one(to my knowledge).

there are reasons why promises are broken. most often than not, these are unavoidable circumstances. give your friend the benefit of the doubt until you know the reason behind.

The same thing happened to me also. It was other way round. I am the girl and there was a friend who promised me to be my friend foreever. After few months, he started avoiding me. about 4 months back he acted very rudely with me and chaeted withy me. He only stopped all communications and now we are no longer in touch.

I know it badly hurts coz they really mean something to us. Well i wanna tell you one thing, lets not care for what they did instead lets make them know that we are really thankful for you did. I agree that it wont stop our curiosity to know why such thing happened, but it will develop a curiosity in them to know how you have suddenly changed and then things are in your hand, what say? Hope you trying to understand my point.

I am also having the same situation as yours may be slightly different in the sense that mine is nothing to do with that promise breaking thing.What happened is one of my friends stopped talking to me 2 weeks ago if i remember correctly for no apparent reasons. She simply said that she doesnt wanna be friend with me anymore. Frankly speaking the relationship between us was a little bit more than just normal friends.

I think, i can help u with this. What you should do is, leave things as such for a week and don't think or talk about it to either you friends or to anyone not even to your friend. She should feel that you are all normal even when you guys are not in touch. Coz the problem in your case is I guess someone would have told her that this guy is expecting something more from you, listening to which she has reacted like this and if you keep asking her or give preference she will stay away, but once if she comes to know that you are all normal and don't have any problem she talks or not things will settle down. Do let me know what you feel about what i told you now.

it is certainly not right. there are some people in the world who don't regard their promise as something they can't break easily. i think you can congratulate yourself on her breaking her promise so soon. otherwise perhaps you will feel more difficult to get out of it. try not to be bothered by it any more. do not use her mistake to punish yourself.

Well, such a thing did happen to me two years back. It was such a shock that I took nearly three months to recover and that too partially. :( Actually, we were supposed to be 'in love'; and then one fine day, after promising so many things, the guy just stopped communicating. I still don't know what I had done that made him do that! Re-thinking over the matter, I feel it is good, in a way. I mean, who wants to be stuck to such a character for life? Characters who can't keep their word don't really turn out to be good friends, lovers, or spouses. You are better off without such a friend. There are plenty of good people in the world...

Even though we tell that there are plenty of good people in the world, but something or else happens in our day today routine, which reminds us about them and we start thinking again of what would have gone wrong n stuffs.. And then we somehow make our mind that she was not worth my care and love..

Initially any person will feel guilty and depressed at the same time thinking why the hell did he/she do it to me...if something of that sort would have happened to me, though there's no fault of mine being involved, i would have gone and asked that person the reason behind it...and if that person would have replied in a vague manner, i would think that person doesn't deserve the concern i show towards him/her and try to be optimistic in finding newer and better friends but at the same time keeping in mind not to repeat the same mistake of trusting anyone more than necessary...one will probably feel better by getting involved with other people and should also try to forget the tragic past as soon as possible so that it doesn't affect the future...

You are absolutely right vinutha.. I had made efforts to talk to her but it wasn't of any use.. And ya, i also agree tht its no use showing any concern to her anymore, but there is a curiosity with in me to knw of wht had went wrong.

I obviously don't know the whole story, but is there a chance that maybe she is busy with life? I had a lot of friends that I graduated with and we all promised to be friends forever and after graduation promised to always right and alway call and to be honest there isn't always time for that. One of my friends that I grew up with I haven't seen in almost a year. A couple of others I haven't seen except once since I got out of school (almost 8 years). Unfortunately, that is a part of life. You get busy with other things, you lose touch, you meet other people and everything changes. You might not have done nothing at all. It just happens.

In your case u had to walk off and enter into a complete new world. I agree that u never had time to call ur friends but you can always attend their calls right? Between your case and my case is completely different. We had done a post graduation course together after she broke her promise and never talked to me in the whole of my post graduation course..
