To ask what is the most ridiculous reason someone has fallen out with you?

[Rainbowb]

Need a bit of solidarity right now!

A boyfriend I married and divorced sometime after stopped speaking to me for 6 months because he misinterpreted something I typed to a female friend on a public forum! I was given no right to reply in that first 6 months. He decided from the comment that I had cheated on him. Months after we got back together and quite quickly got married, had 2 babies (tragically the first stillborn) and 5 years on when I was a shadow of my former self he left me for another woman because I had changed!!!!

My temporary blindness is fixed by the way!!!

[DeeTractor]

My ex once stop talking to me for two weeks over a carrier bag. One of the many and varied reasons why we are no longer together.

[frustrationcentral]

I fell out with a very good friend because whilst meeting up at a park another person was there that I knew and I dared to say hello to them as I walked in . Apparently she wasn't expecting it?! Instead she was expecting me to ignore them.... ! The friendship died a death there and then.

P.s We're grown adults not 13 year olds.

I was a week overdue with ds and she wanted me to go on a 3 hour train ride to go shopping in a city. I declined in case of going into labour.
She saw me going into a cafe in home town a few days later and took umbridge with me. As I.might have gone into labour there. Which I could have but id only have been 30.mins from the hospital not 3 hours.

[NoRoomInBed]

Because I wouldn't die my hair for her wedding 🤣 it's not like it was a crazy colour just blonde

[Shizzlestix]

Friend tried to phone me at the crack of dawn and I asked her to please not as my Dh was on shifts and would have just fallen asleep. 20 years of friendship gone. I didn’t even know until a mutual friend told me. Mutual friend doesn’t now want her in her house due to extremely erratic and abnormal behaviour. No idea whats going on there.

Mid 30s, apparently I didnt take my goddaughter (her daughters) christening seriously because I laughed when the vicar made a joke. Then a few days after went on to accuse me of all sorts, swearing, not taking the day seriously. Broke my heart at the time because I genuinely didn't do what I was accused of and I would have thought she knew me better after 30 years of friendship. In fact, I'd gone to much effort before to have a special present made and engraved (cried when it arrived and it was wrong and paid double to have it redone by another company to ensure it got there in time), provided toys for other children to play with, wrote baby a poem and letter to keep forever.... I sometimes think of her now and feel sad that someone who was more like a sister to me than a friend just couldn't move past this thing she had created in her head. We had been through so much together, literally births, deaths, marriages, divorces that it truly knocked me for six, especially when I tried to sort it and got knocked back. OP keep your chin up. I genuinely think that friendships run their course and yes, it hurts, but all you can do is be grateful for the good memories and try not to focus on the bad part. Sending love.

My sister fell out with me as I copied her by having 3 kids, she wanted to have the most kids (our other sister has 2). My kids are all older than hers! incidentally she has since had more children and will mention how she has more children than me so her life is harder than mine at every opportunity. It's really odd.

My best friend at the time was storing her belongings in my garage after she moved out from her boyfriends after their relationship broke up. She moved back home to her parents flippin mansion yet our tiny garage still had her stuff.

My sil fled a domestic violent relationship suddenly and needed somewhere to put her stuff when she moved in to our spare room. I asked my friend to move her stuff to her parents house (large double garage) and she didnt like that. Tbh, the relationship was going downhill as soon as I fell pregnant with my first and I think this was just the final nail.

[Elzbells]

I had a colleague 16 years ago that was pregnant the same time as me so we got close very quickly over our maternity leave.

When the babies were a year old she decided to get married and asked me to be maid of honour. On her hen night I met her husband to be for the first time as he gave us a lift to the venue - had a great night with the girls - no problems.

The next day she calls me and tells me I'm sacked and she never wants to see or hear from me ever again 🤯

Turned out her husband had told her I would show her up and how dare he embarrass her by having a prettier and skinner bridesmaid - all his friends would fancy me and not her and he wasn't having it!

She's still married to the tosser and I have never seen her since.

[myfurloughedfriend]

1983/84 Tuesday lunchtime, top 40 rundown on the radio in the common room. They'd got as far as no. 2 and Duran Duran hadn't played yet, even though they were a 'new entry'.

A friend asked who was no1, I said Duran Duran. What number is this then, I said no.2. She was indignant that I couldn't possibly know, flounced off and never spoke to me again. A couple of friends rallied round and told me I needed to apologise to her (for what!?) but I told them not be ridiculous!

[sand2345]

I was rude to her in her dream and let her down. Apparently she can't trust me not to let her down again...

[Coughsyrupsucks]

I bought a new bra.

I still lived at home, best friend had moved in with her boyfriend and didn’t have disposable cash anymore. She took offence to me buying an expensive bra.....but she had a house....

[IncandescentSilver]

Both times involving men. Recently, a friend stopped talking to me and blocked me on social media. I'd been friends with her and her ex boyfriend for years, gone on couples holidays and dates with them, spent a lot of time together and then comforted her and tried to cheer her up when he cheated on her horribly and messily, screwed her over the house they jointly owned, and they split up. So I can understand why I might have reminded her of those times and she decided to block me, but it still really hurt. Ironically, I'm still vaguely in touch with her ex boyfriend, but he's so obviously embarrassed and ashamed he can barely speak to me beyond basic politeness.

The previous time was when I was very young, an undergraduate and invited some close friends round to mine for a birthday celebration, including my 2 best female friends and the guy I had started seeing. It was shortly after my father had died so I wasn't up for a bigger celebration. My best friend flirted with him all night, I was too innocent to realise it for what it was, and in the morning the pair of them couldn't wait to leave. He actually left without saying goodbye. Then I never heard from them again for weeks. I remember phoning her up and she chatted away but then said she had to get off the phone because of an incoming call. It must have been him. I found out they were together because I bumped into them on a night out! She cut me out of her life and never spoke to me again. Although I did tell everyone in our year what she did and none of them spoke to her again either!

He kept being quite nice to me and I later realised why - 20 years later, he has turned into one of the biggest serial sleazebags out there. They are married and have children, but everyone that knows him knows he has cheated on her multiple times and continues to do so. He worked away from home in the city I now live in and together with his equally sleazy friend, were well known for picking up women for ONSs in night clubs and taking them back to the sleazy friend's flat.

Both he and the sleazy friend have tried it on with me and obviously I turned them down - ugh! There is no way that my former best friend cannot know this and I guess she just turns a blind eye and shuts her mind off from it, a bit like how she shut me out of her life to get a boyfriend all those years ago.

I still miss my other friend though, and I can't imagine how sad she must have felt to actually try and cut that entire phase out of her life. Theres nothing I can do to help her but I wish we were still friends.

[CaptSkippy]

I refused to join a friend's religion. We had a massive fight and never spoke again after that.

[Rainbowb]

@Tappering

Hmm, this has bored Daily Mail journo written all over it.

Why don't you share your experience OP?

I can assure you I’m not a DM journalist!! 😂 Am bored tho! I made a sarcastic comment about tic toc on FB and a school mum took it personally. No idea why, she isn’t the only person in the world whose kid is on bloody tictoc!

[SqidgeBum]

Two friends stopped talking to me after I did well in my A levels and got accepted to Uni. Apparently I "thought I was better than everyone else".

Another friend stopped talking to me when I moved in with to be with my (now) husband. Literally overnight she stopped responding to me, no reason given, no actual argument. Just silence. She hadn't even met him (he lived far away). We had been friends for 12 years.

[LunaHardy]

I told a friend I couldn't go to her wedding abroad, in the Caribbean. I was due to have a baby 4 weeks before her wedding. Gave her about 7 months notice as I just couldn't commit. She said she understood on the phone but later text me saying we could no longer be friends. Haven't heard from her since, but did find out that she was cheating on her fiancé the entire time and the wedding was called off a few weeks before it was meant to happen. True story.

[SqidgeBum]

Oh also. When I moved to rural ireland people fell out with me when I said I didnt go to mass on sunday. I was told I was 'going to hell' so people didnt want to associate with me. The teacher actually asked the class to debate how damned I was.

This was only 15 years ago, and I was in school.

[PopsicleHustler]

1, that I became muslim . This happened to a majority of my friends. I am still the same person . I am still me. Just wanting to get closer to god and found happiness.

2, that I got engaged to my husband 3 months after meeting him . Still together after 14 years and expecting our 5th child. Said it's too soon and she doesnt approve and then her relationship went down the toilet and I didnt say anything judgemental, just that I was sorry and asked if she can work things out.

3, fell out with another friend because I became muslim I was no longer a clubbing and pubbing partner. We can still do other things.

4, fell out with another friend , because she chose to go the pub with her boyfriends mates rather than be my labour partner. I found that very upsetting and ridiculous bearing in mind I have known her since she was 7 years old and I was 11. And she didnt really know her boyfriends mates. My husband was practically pleading with her on phone to come to the hospital as she had said she is so desperate to come and be there with me. Shes also their god mother. She didnt come and instead rocked up the next day with chocolate and then after that Havent seen her sadly. That was w years plus.

4, I met up with an old school friend of mine. She dropped out of school and never heard from her for years until I popped into town one day, swapped numbers and Facebook's. Oh my gosh. I had to drop her like it was hot. Literally one thousand messages a day and all questions. Where is your husband , who is your husband, I'd like to meet him, what does he do, why is there big age gaps in your first and second child, when did you marry, what's your husband like, where did you meet, what's his last name I want to find him on Facebook. I mean seriously,who the hell tells a friend you haven't seen for over 10 years I want to find your husband on Facebook. Some of the questions were ok to answer. Everyone asks how long you been together and so on, but come on.
But when she asked for my husbands surname to locate him on Facebook, grow up. I told her my husbands name was Michael and then as a surname predictive text was Jackson, yarted howling deciding whether I should reply with that. then deleted because it sounded so ridiculous and then said Michael Burrito which to be honest was even more funny than Michael Jackson. In the end I cut contact. I found that ridiculous. I thought next she was gonna ask for his blood type and a urine sample haha

[PopsicleHustler]

@SqidgeBum oh goodness me. I'm from northern ireland myself and honestly people have all their own beliefs and superstitions its unreal

[Tappering]

I can assure you I’m not a DM journalist!! 😂 Am bored tho! I made a sarcastic comment about tic toc on FB and a school mum took it personally. No idea why, she isn’t the only person in the world whose kid is on bloody tictoc!

Fair enough. I think lockdown has made some people even more bonkers.

Mine was when I told a then-really close friend that I was thrilled she was pregnant and that I thought she'd be a fab Mum. The pregnancy was planned, she and her partner were really happy about it and she'd called pretty much the moment she'd POAS to tell me the news. And then never spoke to me again.

I found out years later it was because I knew too much about her young and wild years at Uni and she had reinvented herself to her partner, his family and her new circle of friends. Not that I was in the habit of shouting about other people's growing up years - but she was worried that I'd say something that would conflict with her new image.

[RunningFromInsanity]

My best friend/housemate fell out with me because I was reading a magazine and mentioned an article that said in a relationship someone is always ‘reaching’ and someone is always ‘settling’ and I asked did she think that was true.

She took that to mean I thought she was ‘reaching’ in her relationship and he was out of her league.

We were like sisters for 10 years, that incident happened 6 years ago and we have never spoken since.

It makes me laugh now but I was devastated at the time.

[GlassMarble]

A primary school mum friend who I’d done so many favours for, lifts all over the place, fell out with me because I had the audacity to meet up with some other school mums that she didn’t like. She was super friendly to their faces but hated them in secret.

The odd part is that she orchestrated a weird way to be at the same venue as us, then blanked me and when confronted told me it was something to do with my DD but that she wasn’t willing to say what. She never spoke to me again!

I later found out from several other sources that her DD had been bullying mine at a club they went to. DD never said anything (she’s pretty meek) but several weeks earlier some other friends of DD At the same group had had enough of seeing this bullying and these friends had told the bully to stop messing with my DD. Apparently this must have been my fault but she wouldn’t tell me what had happened and nor was I aware until others told me. Turns out she felt her DD was a victim (despite me not having a clue and her DD being the nasty bully).

All very school girl level mentality and not what I’d expect from a 40year old woman.

I’ve since found out that she’s fallen out with other mates for daft reasons too. You are better off without these crazy folks in your life.

[cherrybalms]

because my hair was straighter then theres and it made them look bad when they were out with me. true story and, shockingly, we are no longer friends lol

[PopsicleHustler]

Another stupid reason an ex friend of mine stormed off from me on our way to our favourite restaurant is because I told her it's so hot, and she said why domt you take your jacket off. I said I dont want to expose my arms. I am Muslim now.


A lot of civil minded people would respect and understand that and say oh right no problem.. she turned away and stormed off down the street.
Another one she said was I am muslim one minute and christian the next no I have been christian before and still respect the church and my christian brother and sisters. But now am muslim and happy. She always would say she didnt approve of a lot of things I did and would stomp off. For example we are in iceland at the checkout and I am 55p short, I asked her to lend me it. She said yes and you now owe me a drink . A drink is more than 55p but fine. Because of that she stormed out of Iceland and left me to it. In the end I just had enough of her. She didnt approve of my marriage, getting engaged. I'd be thrilled for a friend if she met someone who loved her and wanted to get married because it's the thing done in the religion. Instead , I was told how I was wrong. But now we are happy with 5 kids and doing great.
