Is This The Ennnnnnnnnnd.......... (in the tune of New Edition)

Ever tried to hold on to a friendship and the other person starts to let go their end of the bargain? We've been the best of friends for almost 10 years, our anniversary date is May 5th to be exact. We're the type of friends that has stood by each other through thick and then.... you know Thelma and Louise, Bonnie & Clyde, Dolce& Gabanna..... okay, maybe I went a little to far... but you get the point. Now all of a sudden my friend wants to act up. Out of almost ten years we've never argued once. We always had each others back. We've been on so many trips, shouldn't that count for anything? Numerous trips to Miami, Tallahasse, Jacksonville, and Tampa when we moved to Miramar. We have history! Now you want to turn your back on me when I need you the most. I can admit that I may have neglected my friend sometimes when she wanted to go to the beauty shop and I convinced you to go every place but there. And I'm truly sorry. I tried to make it up to you last month I spent almost $800 on you. But no, that's not enough. Yesterday You asked for $200 more, and I dished that out too. Now today you're asking for $200 dollars again! Plus, I have to miss work? I'm really trying to hold on to this friendship for selfish reasons yall, .......... cause I'm not ready to buy a new Car! I guess it's true when they say.... "When it rains, it pours!"

Girl! Let that go & buy a car! This friendship sounds like it is becoming more of a drain than anything. You are crazy! Now I'll be singing NE's song in my head all day. :-)

My mother would say, "you don't know who your friends are"! Unfortunitely, it doesn't sound like she feels the same way about you. Sounds like she's taking advantage of your friendship. Put her in check! If things don't get better, leave her alone until she come right with you.

Hold onto a friend even if it's for selfish reasons. An old friendship; no matter how much of a "drain" it seems on you now will be like that $100 bill you find in you dry cleaning some day.
COMMUNICATE and stand your ground without burning down a bridge that will eventually become a lifeline.
ONE LOVE!
