Ending relationships

Well if I feel that a friend is being dishonest or not giving value to the friendship, then yes I do prefer to get out of it. Sometimes it is worth trying to figure it out and sort the matter which is causing problems, but sometimes you do have to just know when to say goodbye.

I can drop friends when I don't feel like associating with them. I can also pick them up later if I want to. It used to be difficult before because I have a sense of canine loyalty to my friends but I have learned a lot from life. Friends are impermanent.

I have had a few friends that I have dropped. One because she was so depressing to be around all the time...everytime I was with her all she did was complain! Another I dropped because it felt like we were always in competition? What's up with that? She was never happy when something good happened to me....then she would try to out do me...wierd!

I try to stay a loyal friend through thick and thin, but if i don't get the same in return then i wouldn't waste my time on this person. i'd rather give my time to the true friends.

If a friend becomes too much of a problem that the friendship starts to affect my own life I will see less of the person. If that friend and I have been friends for many years than I will try to help but I can only do so much. I have been lucky enough that my friends from years ago seem to be in a stable part of their life except for one. The one who has problems with an ex-g/f and her substance abuse. I am just a friend who listens to him and don't offer any advice.He is the classical co-dependant but I won't let his problems drag my own relationship with my own b/f down.
