    Question how to "break up" with a friend?

    I need serious help.I've been friends with someone for 7 years but there has been way more downs than ups.I mean way way more.I decided in July that I had to end it,which seemed ok cause she accused me of stealing money from her(she ended up misplacing it)but the thing is she never accused me face to face i just heard from a lot of people that she thought I stole it.Anyways last time I talked to her was in Sept until Friday when she just showed up.Well I got rid of her after 5 minutes lying saying that we were going shopping.When really her exhusbands new girlfriend was coming over for lunch(wich she doesn't know about yet)Anyways how do I break it off.I don't want to have anything to do with her she made my life miserable.

    If it was me I'd tell her that I've decided that this "friendship" isn't working & that I wish her well. Don't feel bad about it, sounds like it was time to do this a while ago. She'll find other friends.

    Life's too short to put up with people who make us unhappy. Good luck Amanda

    This is a toughie. It's never easy to end a friendship. I really think that being upfront with her is the best policy and really the kindest thing you can do. If she pushes the issue, just let her know that due to her false accusations, all trust is gone.

    Had to do this myself and it was very hard but it gets better. I still miss the friendship we had and often wonder how she is but when I ended it she was a totally different person. I just told her upfront that I could not have her as a friend anymore the negativity she brought to my life was just too much for me. I am sending lots of ((hugs)) I know it is hard but it is best to be honest with her and get it over with.
