[quote=Anonymous]I look at it this way:  The weird situation is bringing out the weird in your friends, and it's pushing boundaries.  But after the restrictions relax, it will be easier to go back to something that looks more like your prior relationship.

However; it did show a side of them that you clearly don't like, so of course the relationship will never be the same.

I agree with above PP that you should just move them to the aquaintences catagory.

FWIW, we have a family friendship where everyone gets along.  I'm super-grateful for this family, as the kids (all teens) all get along and their kids are really sweet and the foursome don't get into any trouble.  The mom, though, can be pretty snarky with me, and I've had to distance some due to that, but I just keep "my eyes on the prize" which in this situation is the tremendous benefit they are to our family as a whole and my kids in particular.

I think that moment when you realize you have to distance is pretty rough, and in addition to being disappointing, it can be hurtful and depressing.  I had to stew with it a while before coming out the other end and deciding what to do.[/quote]
