[quote=Anonymous]I have friends that have lasted for nearly 40 years at this point. I feel very lucky. But I’ve broken up with three (women) friends  and had one ghost me (a couple, where I was first friends with the guy). With the three women, all three were hitting on my partner, at various times and in various ways. One kept making DH cookies, which he doesn’t even like (I did!). Another badmouthed me to my then-boyfriend during a car ride with just the two of them (boyfriend told me). The third showered DH with compliments that were always formulated as a competition between DH and me: “wow, you drive so much better and cook so much better than she does! And you’re so much funnier. Oh and I love your choice of colors, whereas hers are so predictable.” These are basically all direct quotes. All three women have been single their whole lives, now in their mid forties to early fifties. At first I felt bad for them for being lonely but then I realized they were not very nice people.

The guy friend ghosted me, which I kind of deserved. I was in a very disorganized period of life and missed a couple of get togethers or canceled at the last minute. I think his now wife had a hand in the end of the friendship.

All this to say, there’s almost always a pattern of behavior and then a specific event that breaks the camel’s back.
