In High School, I was friends with two other girls. We did everything together and even after we graduated, we stayed friends. Then, one of my friends got a boyfriend.
She spent a lot of time with him and it made my other friend mad, maybe even jealous.
One day, she said some terrible things and it totally broke up their friendship. I continued being friends with both of them, even though they couldn't stand each other.
About 10 months ago, that friend found a boyfriend on Tinder and they started dating. Since then, I've seen her about twice. I invited her to parties and dinners and asked to meet her boyfriend, but none of those things ever happened.
For a while, part of me hated her for being a hypocrite and breaking up one of my most valued friendships. I felt so used; like she had thrown me away like trash. Every time she chose to hang out with her boyfriend instead of me, I felt betrayed. There was a tinge of sadness every time someone asked me how you were doing and I couldn't answer the question.
Now, after seven months of no communication with someone I used to consider a friend, I am over it. I am over the friendship that I once thought we had and I am over her. I tried to continue our friendship, but obviously, that mission was one-sided. Most friendships fade apart, but sadly, some end abruptly.
To my old friend, I hope you have a good life with your boyfriend. I hope he is all the companionship you will ever need. I hope he never breaks your heart because if he does, I will not be your shoulder to cry on. You haven't been there for any of your friends and we won't be there for you.
