[quote=Anonymous]^I think this is a common reason why friendships break up despite best intentions. For most people they don't even last 10-12 years because differences start coming up even in your 20s-early 30s like wanting to go to different restaurants or vacation differently etc. Seems like you guys made it way past that stage into your 40s.

But I've seen differences then creep up in the 40-50s too -- like if one friend is just trying to make good $$$ and solidify their own future/kids' education/retirement -- and the other friend has decided those things don't matter as much as "doing good in the world." Often the person just trying to make money isn't the one criticizing; often its the do-good person who is constantly looking at and making passive aggressive digs bc you chose to move to a nice town; good school district; send kids to private k-12; send kids to private colleges; retire early or whatever it may be and obviously being the person "on the defensive" for just living your life doesn't make for a good friendship.[/quote]
