Re: Annnnnd ties are cut, and I GOTTA BITCH TO SOMEONE

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't cut her out of my life per se - it was more that we had a hard time maintaining a long-distance friendship (these were pre-Facebook days) and drifted apart - but I did have a friend who changed pretty radically to the point it felt like I no longer knew her.

It started when we were in college, so some of it could be chalked up to merely growing older and no longer sharing so many formative life experiences because we went to different schools in different cities. I think the real breaking point, though, was when she lost one of her parents under pretty distressing circumstances. She suddenly got very politically conservative, which was a real 180 from how she used to be and how her parents were (it was also odd because she really wasn't in a position to benefit from many of her new viewpoints), and also lost a lot of her previous ambition and became weirdly paranoid. She started seeing and then married this guy who seemed quite nice, but wasn't at all the kind of person I would have thought would interest her. The whole thing was bewildering, but I suppose the fact that I was no longer seeing her practically every day made the change seem more dramatic than it probably was.

As for your friend, yeah, it's sad when things like this happen, but if this guy no longer has most of the qualities that attracted you to him as a friend, there's not much use in trying to maintain the friendship for old times sake. He might not see you the same way anymore, either.
