How Do You Divorce A Friend

How Do You Divorce A Friend 

Sometime in your life you will have a friend that stops acting like a friend. Many times you're clueless as to why this friend is acting this way. Some of us think we must have done something wrong. Some of us just write it off feeling the friend has become an asshole.

In all cases the reasons why the friendship has ended is complicated. There just aren't one or two reasons. Here are just a few reasons:

* I said something wrong and I refused to apologize.

* He or she said something wrong and refused to apologize.

* My friend is handing out with a different crowd and I just don't fit in.

* My economic position and their economic position have caused us to not see each other anymore.

* Politics has come between us. 

* They did or said something that broke the trust I had.

* Divorce

* I guess he or she was never a real friend in the first place.

* Shit happens.


As I said the reasons are complicated, but the end result is the same - you lost a friend. Usually when that happens the two parties don't speak to each other anymore. However, sometimes the friend is doing something that is so unacceptable you have to divorce that person. Below are a few ways to go about it.

* Send a text or email that says F..k you, you F..king asshole. I don't recommend this approach because it shows how angry you are and you should never let them see you sweat.

* Look at them in the face and tell them exactly why you are divorcing them. I like that approach best, but you have to be prepared for them to lash back at you.

* Just text or email them saying: "I'm divorcing you." That leaves the question of "why" and might get them to ask "why." If you do decide to reply to their "why" I suggest you say to them: "if you have to ask "why" that's the reason I'm divorcing you."

* Just ignore them. Don't return their calls, texts or emails. It might take a while, but, they will eventually get the message. 

* Tell them you are divorcing them because it's best for both of us. In my opinion, that's bullshit and you know it.


I hope you never lose a friend, but trust me, in time, it will happen to all of us. I hope you never have to divorce a friend, but it's better than 

Staying In A Friendship You Know Is Not Making You Happy
