No, I think it's the right decision. It's sad your friend is unhappy, but it doesn't give them the right to behave the way they did. I mean ffs, she was trying so hard to bring you down to her own miserable level that it was just bizarre. Who does that? You did your best, but you can't drag someone out of a hole if they're determined to stay there AND drag you in with them.

You're right, but it still feels crap to call quits on a 20-something long friendship even though the meetups were sporadic in later years.

I knew they had troubles and had noticed that the other friends had trickled off significantly, yet had no idea it was this bad.

The random out of no where needling of my person is a thing she's done quite a few times before and I've just taken it. No more.

DA, but I agree with the one you're responding to. It sucks to end longstanding relationships. I ended a friendship of 8 years long awhile back and I still feel shitty at times about it. But with things like this, there's comes a point where you have to put yourself first. That doesn't make you a bad person.

Of course I might not be the best person to say this because I truly believe some people just aren't fucking worth it. But I still say it was the best decision for you to leave. No matter how much someone is in a terrible situation, it's still shitty if they try and drag you down with them. And in this case, that's what it sounded like your friend was trying to do.

AYRT

Thank you and I'm sorry you had to go through dumping a friend, too.

I try and comfort myself with the idea that some things just HAVE to end, lest you be in a situation you can never get out of. I hope she doesn't try roping you back in, that happened to me. I know it's hard to end things and thinking you're a terrible person is common, but you're not. Hugs if you want them! Best of luck to you.

Hugs are always good. You too.

That's normal, people hate giving up on relationships even when they're slightly toxic. But I really do think it's for the best and obviously no coincidence that her other friends have called it quits one by one. If you're feeling really generous, I'd level with her about how her behavior is rude and alienating, pointing out that it's damaging your friendship and she needs to stop. But to be honest, very few people react well to this so there's little chance she's going to own up to being a jerk and suddenly do better. THAT'S why people just bail.
