I agree with SanityIsOverrated: “When someone mentions that person’s name, and instead of thinking of how much they hurt me, I wonder how much hurt they have in their life to act like that.” I know I cut off ties with a someone I knew because that specific friendship required a lot of emotional energy (which was something I unfortunately wasn’t able to give her at that time). While it was definitely and abrupt end to a relationship, it was necessary as I had other priorities at that time that had to be met. I’m not sure how she took it as I haven’t heard a word from her since.

Shopping613: To answer your question – “Even if I would call (which Im not) would they answer??!??” It would never hurt to try. Being in the so-called “bad guy” position (though who are you to judge!)if this particular friend called me I would definitely answer. Not only would I answer, I would probably value our relationship even more if she called because it shows SHE still values the bond we share(d).
