Milly Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Okay I've had this long friendship online with this person 5-6 years I think. We met once in person, and then after that it's been a constant up and down and I've always felt like I've given more than %50 of my time to her & attention. A year ago I've basically had it with her (there's too much detail to really get into) and ended the friendship in the nicest way possible. Saying that later down the line we could pick it up and be friends if we both agreed. After a few months I felt really bad about doing that and missed her and we got back together. It was odd at first and I realized I probably destroyed the friendship, but I've tried everything possible to make it up to her. I can't do it any more and it's too hard and I feel like I shouldn't have to go through this with an online friend that I feel doesn't want to be friends any more or care any more. I think we just drifted apart and I don't really think I'll feel like picking it up later down the line either this time. I get the feeling she's ignoring me now or trying to. So I feel like I'm supposed to be getting some sort of message. So I really want to break it off with her even though I'll probably miss her for a while, I don't think I'll feel bad about it either this time. She's moving on and doing really good online and offline and so am I. She appreciated the fact I told her last time about breaking off the friendship. Another close friend of mine online has gone through similar matters and suggested letting everything fade to black basically. So do I do that and not tell her or is it the more nicer thing to do is to tell her let her say her piece and take it from there? Link to post Share on other sites
Tiger-Lily Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 You considered her enough to write this post; let her know how you feel and ask her straight out what is her opinion of how she thinks your friendship should be. Ask her if she would rather not chat with you anymore and let things die a natural death. If however, she is not clear with her opinions, then you can drop her like a brick.
