When you never feel like keeping in touch with them or talking with them anymore and that you can't trust them anymore the way you did before. Basically if things have changed completely from before for the worse.

If this happens to be a distance issue, then you don't have to end a friendship over that. I've had similar thoughts about people I was close friends with in high school, etc, who now make me feel like I'm a bother to them whenever I call wanting to get together, because their lives are just too busy now. If this sounds familiar, then it just means that some people (even your good friends) can get very selfish & only focus on themselves & their own lives, and move on without you. If your friend is acting at all like this, then it doesn't have to mean you're not friends (unless you decide not to be). It just might mean that you're not as close as you used to be.

When you start asking yourself questions then you know it is time to let go! Also if you are not getting anything out of the relationship then it is time!- ALL giving and no receiving! If they start talking about someone else too much take a clue from that! If they find ways to drag you down-then ask yourself just why you would need them in the first place!

I believe you just did. Sometimes it takes admitting there is nothing else left to salvage. I've been in this situation and I had to just take in a deep breath, hold my head high and move on. I was outed by someone I was friends with since 1st grade because I told her I was concerned about another friend of ours. She wrote me a nasty letter and I haven't spoken to her in 13 years. I hope it's been long enough for her. Sometimes we mature and outgrow our friends. That's just the way life goes. I wouldn't sweat it, you'll find other friends. I'm sure you are sad but when you look back you will realize that it's probably for the best.

When it becomes more of a problem them a joy. Not to say give up on a friend in trouble, but if it becomes to much to handle and it starts to affect you negatively then let it go. Sometimes you may grow and find the things you and the friends no longer have in common you can look for new friends then as well.

I have had this problem once. I had to let it go, she lied to me three times. And on the fourth time she tried to include me in a
lie she was telling someone else, a lie, and making up an excuse
for not keeping a promise. She said she had to do something for
me. And it was a lie.
As hard as it was , i had to let go of the friendship.I would never know whether she was telling me the truth or just lying.

It's hard don't let poor answers get to you.
A true friendship isn't easily replaced because you gave this friend your trust, secrets, and love.
When you feel you have exhausted all avenues with this friend chalk it up as to a good friend lost and move on. You will think of this friend often, I still do and it's been over 5 months. But she had been my best friend for 6 years.
Good luck.

when the person you trust the most ,constantly does things to hurt you and not care about how you feel and never cared and the friendship was always one sided, and everything you say they tell and most of all never ever being there for you when it counts and the #1 reason for me would be dishonesty if your not an honest friend then there is no friendship lol

One way is this...the person hates your guts. most friendship endings aren't so obvious. the friend could disagree with you on alot of things. the friend might be a different kind of person than you. there are many ways of knowing, but when the friendship is kaput, you'll know it for fact. maybe you and your friend are experiencing a bumpy part of the road. hang tough, and maybe you guys can work through it. good luck, email me if you'd like any more free advice.

My rule of thumb is the 'Three calls and your out'. I will call someone three times over a period of say one month to six weeks. If I don't receive a return call, email or go out with the person I consider the relationship OVER. Life is too short to waste time chasing people around.
