Question Posted Wednesday January 12 2005, 9:31 pm
Well, My friend and i were just in a fight and recently we just made up. I still feel I don't trust him and that I kinda don't want to be friends anymore. He ALWAYS hurts the one he loves the most and then regrets it. He has done it to me way to many time and it has gone to far. Should I end the friendship because I don't want to get hurt again or should i keep with the frienship. I kinda feel like I am being used for advice, Help, support, and love and I know that is the meaning of the friendship but he expresses it in a different way... I know I said to him that I never wanted anything to come between us and never to have brake a relationship and I have always been the one keeping the friends together.. Should I stay friends or Not??

I have been her friend for a while and we have had some major up's and down's. She has been horrible lately and I would advise you that, if you have not been friends for long or are really close, to slowly quit the friendship. But give it time.

Since he has broken your trust in him so many times, it might be time to step back and take a break from the closeness of your relationship. Depending on how long the friendship has been and how deep it has been, I'm not sure ending it would be a good idea until you have a chance to look at from a more objective point of view. You might write the pros and cons of your friendship. What does he bring to it? What do you bring to it? What is good about it? What is not so good about it? Then weigh it. It wouldn't be a bad idea for both of you to do it individually and then together, that is, if you are really interested in saving this friendship. If he doesn't see anything wrong with it, then it's up to you. It's tough, but it may be the best in the long run. Good luck. [ Shelbyjune's advice column | Ask Shelbyjune A Question ]
