Recently a girl I know broke up with a couple of her friends. She sent them an email detailing their offenses, her goals in life, and how she thought that they, as people, did not fit in with her life plans. Anyone else ever due this formally?

I know someone with a Kitchen Aide Mixer… It’s real nice.
sometimes you gotta. though I much rather prefer face to face. if you cant stand by your convictions in person, best to take a moment for re-evaluation to make sure whatever is going on is really them and not you.

i had a passive-aggressive breakup with a group of friends a few years ago. i started hanging out with them less and less and the queen bee of the group called me on it. i waffled around on the issue for a week or two until it finally came to a head and i said “i just don’t like hanging out with you guys anymore”. she wasn’t happy, but i was relieved when i no longer felt obligation to hang out with them.
I had an out-and-out breakup with a friend my sophmore year in college. She was into me, but I didn’t know it at the time. Anywhere I went with her, every guy I knew was “shady” and every girl was “a skank.” First off, I happen to like skanks, but after a blowout of her being all possessive of me at one of my own parties, I sat her down and told her we couldn’t be friends anymore. She cried, I went on later that year to make my best guy friends - and hookup with many a “skank.”
OMG! I am not the only one who has had to deal with friends who act like this. I witnessed one friend tell another friend to go to counseling or it was done. I have had the email and I have at the blatant just disappear and not return any correspondence. What is with people just giving up on and walking or emailing away? If your done then fine, but say your done! Stop blaming, whining, or making excuses if you don’t want to try and fix it. Also let the person now, just vanishing is BAD form.
