So when she had mentioned it earlier in the year, her birthday is in July, I went on to see what the ticket prices were around the time that she wanted to go, and they were like, $78 round trip

And to bring context to the situation, my best friend had been dating a guy from maybe 2010 up until this point, so they were nearing a decade into their relationship and he was just not a good fit at all. I mean, when they first started dating, he had went to jail. He had moved in with her very quickly, with her and her two kids

Now, it's another thing if you feel like you're stuck and you need some assistance figuring out how to exit the relationship, because maybe I can suggest some other things. But if you are invested and you're just going to vent to me one day and then go right back to being in the relationship, I feel like it's people don't understand that you take on the emotional burdens that they vent to you about

And now you're just drinking water and drinking smoothies and having raw vegetables. And that's the type of diet that you're on that you need the type of support system to tell someone or talk to somebody, like, hey, yo, how's it hitting you today? What type of effects are you experiencing? Like, stay encouraged, like, keeping each other accountable. And it just kind of p***** me off because I was like, why did you just say something?

And it was a really long, detailed message about how I was being in considerate of her situation, how I was choosing to focus all of my efforts and energy on my other friends that I was hanging out with, how I wasn't being open with her about the guy that I was dating. I wasn't sharing the details like I used to. I wasn't being open about how that relationship was going and I was focusing my efforts there

And I said, wow, you're basically telling me all of the things that have happened. So your whole argument about me keeping things from you is kind of mute and null and void at this point because it sounds like all of the things that you were saying that I wasn't telling you, you have a clear knowledge on. And you're admitting when I ask you that? Yeah, you told me that. You told me that

So I got another one of these text messages that was blaming me for being inconsiderate, for not posting any of her pictures of her that we had taken, for not publicly acknowledging on social media how appreciative. I was for her picking me up and taking me around. I was taking advantage of her friendship

And then I ended up telling you that I didn't tell you because it wasn't of any significant relevance to my life. And then before that, it's like it's always this thing. I just felt like she was manufacturing conflict to COVID up for something that she really felt about me. And it wasn't until just recently that I kind of figured it all out

Just being someone, listening to this brief synopsis of what's happened, not knowing me personally, obviously not knowing her personally, but telling me where you feel like I had Missteps or she had Missteps or what your belief is about why our friendship ended. But it's tough. I will say I've never really experienced a romantic break up like that where I had an emotional attachment that was strong to somebody. But this has been difficult. So let me know what you think below
