falling out with friend

[Beansprout30]

Hi, new to posting on here but have lurked for a while.

This isnt exactly a AIBU post but just a bit of a vent really. Have recently fallen out with a friend and feeling pretty annoyed about it. Wont go into details but we both said some pretty hurtful stuff at the time I was fuming about the whole situation but now ive calmed down, I wish I had perhaps handled things a little better. I dont feel as though I want to try and rebuild the friendship but feel sad that it's over. It was very one sided and I took just about enough. Does anyone else ever feel like you do so much for certain friends and they are just ungrateful and never do anything for you? Have you ended friendships like this because you couldnt be doing with it anymore? I just wish it handed ended on such a nasty note :(

I recently lost someone I had considered to be a very good friend. I think I have gone through anger, grief, and now almost despair. She turned on me, and said some horrendous things. I wish now I had spoken back, but, I was to shocked to be honest. With hindsight, time with some advice, I realise that she was what is described as toxic, and I suppose in a way, I'm glad it's over. But it is something that unsettles me every day. I do wonder if I could have handled it better, but I think ultimately, this would have happened at some point. I agree I wish it had not ended on such a bad note.

If you feel as though you could have handled it better but don't want to tell her, that says you've done the right thing to me.

Are you feeling sad for what you had in the past, because if she's the user she sounds what is there to feel sad about?

Of course it's always better to drift away from someone like that, but there's not a lot you can do about the falling out now it's happened, try to go a bit easier on yourself

It's happened, try and move on - what else can you do x
