Just like any relationship, best friendships
depend on trust, promise, respect and interests. When any of these elements(要素) is missing, the friendship will be
hard to go on. If the trust is totally broken, you may not be able to forgive
him/her. Sometimes a friendship ends because either you or your friend gets
tired of putting the heart into it. This can happen when one of you finds a new
friend or even a new hobby that takes up much time. Or, perhaps you find the
relationship is always going in an unhealthy way and you want some distance.
Other times, you simply change and want to leave each other. Sure, it seems sad
at the time, but it’s completely normal. Not all friendships are meant to last
forever. So, what should you do if something like this happens to you? Read on
for some friendly advice.
Whatever the reason you’re breaking up
with your best friend, always remember that he/she was once super important to
you. Take the time to sit down privately and tell him/her what’s going on and
why. Don’t send him/her an unpleasant e-mail or just start ignoring(不理睬) him/her. In fact, maybe he/she has
known there’s a problem and would be willing to have a heart-to-heart chat. If
you’re not sure about wanting an end forever, you could suggest you two take a
break from each other. If, after a while, you realize why you became the best
friends in the beginning, you can try getting back to your former behaviors.
Whatever you do, be honest about your feelings while having respect for
his/hers. And if you both agree the BFF thing is over, make sure not to
be enemies.
