Consider yourself among the blessed if you still have your
childhood friendships. As we are forever changing, so do our relationships.
Some friendships continue to blossom until death do you part, while others
slowly die and that’s okay too. Just because your girlfriend was your friend
then, doesn’t mean she’s still the same friend now. Here are a few red flags
signaling it’s time to close the curtain on your friendship:
1.
She’s always making subtle put-down remarks
about your character, personality, physical appearance or talents. She’s been
your friend for this long, so she shouldn’t have to, “Talk at you” or make
snickering remarks behind your back.
2.
She makes EVERYTHING a competition: Who got married first, who had children first, and who lost the first ten pounds of baby weight.
These significant moments shouldn’t be about competition, she should be
supportive and happy to be a part of them.
3.
If you’re the one always making the effort to
call or schedule outings.
4.
You knew that your friend was flirtatious, but
flirting with your man is crossing the line.
5.
She brings out the worst in you. You find
yourself doing or saying things that you normally wouldn’t say or do when
you’re with her.
6.
You start to notice every time she calls, she
needs a favor.
7.
Your conversations are one-sided. Both of your
schedules are hectic, so when you do talk, she only has the time to talk, but
never listen.
8.
If you brought 1-7 to her attention and she gets
defensive.
Remember, in life some friendships are not meant to last
forever. They are for a brief season, in which you needed to learn, develop or
grow from. Just be thankful for the good girlfriend you had then and be open and
optimistic to meeting new friends.
XOXO,
