The best friends break-up

 
Most of us agreed that female friendship can make us happier, healthier, less stressed, and feel loved. And when you re break up with BFF, you feel devastated because the person you’d most want to talk to is the person you broke up with. The impact is devastating not just because of the break-up itself, but because the idea you raised with the idea that friendship is supposed to be forever. 

Despite the ideal friendship you believe in, it is easy to break up with your BFF since you have no familial or legal ties like you would have with your sibling or a husband.

In the light of this reality, here are some common reasons why BFF break up: 

-          Living far away from each other:

Your BFF moves away for a college or a job, you’re only talking to each other every few months and getting together in person once a year — of course if you're lucky. Add in a husband, kids and a different time zone, and it gets even harder to maintain your bond with your BFF.

-          Being on a different page emotionally:

You and your BFF just aren't the same as when you were in the same place doing the same thing. As you mature, your career takes shape and you develop a relationship with the opposite sex, there might be no common ground anymore.

-          Best Friend Betrayal

Sometimes a disagreement or betrayal can send BFFs down the break-up road. If this happens, it is really important to ask yourself this:  whatever happened is a big enough deal to risk losing that friendship.

Keep in your mind “Sometimes, the best thing to do is take a friendship sabbatical — you just need some time away from each other.”

-          You didn't realize you were breaking up:

This type of break-up occurs when you don't even know your friendship is falling apart — until you do. If you can get a friendship that's starting to wane back on your radar screen, you can save it if you can work on it.
