[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She broke up with me through a series of texts in which she screamed "F* YOU" in all caps, told me how selfish I was, said she never wanted to speak with me again, etc. This was because she and my nephew are in similar, but not identical careers, and I had said I wished he would do something else. They are completely different ages and were at different stages in their lives, but whatever. Obviously, from her POV this was the straw that broke the camel's back.

From my POV I realized that she would criticize me constantly. She would say "when I said x, you should have said z, not y." And "I was really angry when you said x," weeks after I had said x. I always felt like shit after seeing her, but we had been friends for so long I guess I didn't realize it. I tried to be a good friend but we just didn't see eye-to-eye on anything and I didn't measure up. It was a lot like my relationship with my XH, actually.

I was really hurt after the breakup. She tried to re-enter my life after years of silence and I was polite but definitely very cool. I just don't want to resume that friendship. [/quote]

Dang. I think I also feel like crap after seeing my best friend. She is so self-centered and needlessly cruel. Why am I still friends with her?[/quote]
