[quote=Anonymous]This happened to me but it was a very close friend. Be were extremely close friends for about 7 years.

She got a frenemy who was intimidated by our friendship. My friend started with little lies here and there an then the big one... she pretended she was not having a 40th birthday party, but she was and I found out.

I did not confront her, because she would have just made excuses and I am not about excuses. So I simply disengaged from our friendship, slowly. But, we live on the same street, so it was impossible to totally disengage. She was mean and selfish but I always stayed true to myself. I moved on respectfully and gracefully.

I am not afraid of confrontation, but I felt I was better than acting like a bunch of tweens when it came to socializing.

We were not really friends anymore, but polite to each other ALWAYS for about 3 years.

Then... one day, she came to my door and said, "I need your friendship back". Her husband was dying of a rare disease and it was going to be 5+ long years of care before he eventually died.

We sat on my porch and she told me she knew she was not the good friend that she needed to be and I said, "all is forgiven" what do we need to do.

Her frenemy only stuck around for about 2 years of the "hard times" and now her group of friends is amazing... the good ones stuck around, and I am one of the good ones.

She is better for it, I am better for it. I would not go back and do it differently.
