Just like any relationship, best friendships depend on trust, promise, respect and interests. When any of
these elements (要素) is missing, the friendship will be hard to go on. If the trust is totally broken, you may
not be able to forgive him/her. Sometimes a friendship ends because either you or your friend gets tired of
putting the heart into it. This can happen when one of you finds a new friend or even a new hobby that takes
up much time. Or, perhaps you find the relationship is always going in an unhealthy way and you want some
distance. Other times, you simply change and want to leave each other. Sure, it seems sad at the time, but it's
completely normal. Not all friendships are meant to last forever. So, what should you do if something like this
happens to you? Read on for some friendly advice.
Whatever the reason you're breaking up with your best friend, always remember that he / she was once
super important to you. Take the time to sit down privately and tell him / her what's going on and why. Don't
send him / her an unpleasant e-mail or just start ignoring (不理睬) him / her. In fact, maybe he / she has known
there's a problem and would be willing to have a heart-to-heart chat. If you're not sure about wanting an end
forever, you could suggest you two take a break from each other. If, after a while, you realize why you
became the best friends in the beginning, you can try getting back to your former behaviors. Whatever you
do, be honest about your feelings while having respect for his / hers. And if you both agree the BFF thing is
over, make sure not to be enemies.
