Have you ever had a good friend who changed into someone you couldn't be around anymore?

Answer 1

Yes. My friend married for the 3rd time and all she could talk about was the money they had and the trips they took. Sadly, that marriage didn't work out either. But it was annoying.

Answer 2

I had a good friend whom I met during my advanced job training for the Army. We clicked pretty good during the 8 weeks we trained together, and then, as luck would have it, we continued on to our first duty station together. She was married with a little boy at the time and we continued to be close friends. I was there for her when she kicked her useless husband out and divorced him. I even moved into her spare room for a while to help her with her son, who was a violent ADD/ODD kid. Even after the military sent us in separate directions (me to Texas, her to Korea) we kept in touch and stayed closed. Several years ago she started dating someone she met over the internet and they ended up getting married. I knew that she had gone through some pretty difficult medical situations, so I chalked up the lack of communication to that. Until I went to see her and be one of her bridesmaids at her wedding. She had drastically changed. Her attitude about everything was different. Her outlook on life and those around her was different. I was saddened to see that we had grown in different directions and couldn't be friends any longer.

So, I guess my answer would be yes to your question. But the way I approached dealing with the above situation and others like it in my life has been relatively simple. People will come into your life for one or more of the following three reasons: a Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime.

She was one of those Season friends. And ultimately, I'm a better person for knowing her, even though the friendship didn't have a happy ending.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Yes, I had a very good friend that I was friends with for about 7 years when I was growing up. Then she started hanging around with the wrong crowd and changed completely. I couldn't stand to be around her anymore, so we are no longer friends.

Answer 4

Yes my friend for 45 years have become whiney clinging and desperate. She has noone but me (no family left) so I try very hard to be there for her and it is getting so much harder. She depends on my husband and I for everything and than half the time does not remember what we said to her 5 mins ago. She needs medical help I think but her Dr., does nothing about any of these systems.

Answer 5

Yep, my best friend from 8th grade, all the way through high school, we were roommates, and then she got pregnant and went crazy, after she had the baby she started getting into drugs and sleeping with random guys everywhere she went... last time I heard anything about her, she was homeless, and trying to get her mom to let her move in with her.
Sad, but sometimes it's better to let that kind of person go than to let them drag you down with them.

Answer 6

Yep, sure have. I had a good friend once who became involved in drugs and he stole things from all of his friends to support his habit and then got in trouble with the law and fled the state for a number of years.

Answer 7

Sad to say.... yes. My very best friend and I lived in the same neighborhood during our growing up years. We were separated by marriage and moving out of state. Then back together again a few years later, we were still very good friends. Then she and her husband ran in to some very good luck financially and thought "Old Friends" were out of their "class". I haven't seen nor talked to her in years. I don't even know where she lives. I think of her now and then and miss the "Good Ol' Days".

Answer 8

Yes, we were best friends since grade 4. After she got married, she cheated alot and got pregnant with other mens children and told her husband they were his. She had to have 1 abortion because the child wouldn't have been white. I couldn't deal with a person like that.

Answer 9

This relationship is a some distance cry from marriage-waiting, firstly. you will desire to positioned that on carry as we communicate. do no longer enable your loved ones proceed to speculate their time and earnings something you at the instant are not one hundred% invested in. extra importantly, you will would desire to enable your boyfriend comprehend that the marriage is on carry. do no longer string him alongside jointly as you're making up your strategies. PLEASE do no longer communicate your self into this marriage while you at the instant are not waiting, and you at the instant are not. you're in for a protracted and messy highway in case you do. you mustn't be terrified of him, he would be purely as in touch as you're approximately all this if he rather is a high quality guy. regrettably, he seems egocentric, possessive, and suspicious, which isn't ok in a committed relationship. He seems lacking in the "romantic" branch, and seems lazy whilst it is composed of artwork. you will desire to be sure a therapist and communicate your inhibitions approximately this relationship privately. The therapist can in all probability refer you to a relationship professional, who will help you 2 communicate head to head, and mediate if desire be. notwithstanding, when you consider that he seems a splash manipulative, i'd actual propose the non-public therapist for you on my own. you will desire to communicate brazenly approximately this with out feeling threatened.

Answer 10

Sadly, yes. I had a close friend in high school and college, but after a number of years he became extremely judgemental, demanding, and immature. I miss the old Jim, but I just cant relate to him now. (We're both 75 years old.)

Answer 11

Of course its all part of the cycle, there will come a day when you feel like you want their company again but after 5mins you will revert back to the way you feel now. My advice just move on.
