Unit 1 RELATIONSHIPS
Many people expect that their friends will always be there. They expect friendships to last forever. Yet, friendships end and friends part company every day. Unfortunately, even the best maintained friendships can end.
Many friendships end because of a change in personality or lifestyle when friends just drift apart with time. The friendship slowly loses importance and finally disappears.
Sue said, “The end of our friendship was a gradual thing. I moved from one side of the metropolis to the other. We had over an hour’s drive to see each other. For a year or so, we met less and less. Then our friendship ended.” John wrote, “I didn’t even know the friendship was over until I caught myself thinking of Alan as a former friend.”
Other friendships break up suddenly from a disagreement or a move to another town.
Paul said, “When I moved to Seattle after college, our friendship abruptly died. We were both struggling with new jobs and didn’t keep in touch. Now that friendship is so dead, I don’t even bother to call him when I go home.”
Yet the biggest threat to a friendship is change. Lillian Rubin in her book Just Friends says, “Thus generally it’s true that friends accept each other so long as they both remain essentially the same as they were when they met, or change in similar directions. If they change or grow in different ways, the friendship most likely will be lost.”
Regardless of why, when, or how friendships end, there is always some pain of loss. When nothing can be done to mend the friendship, it is important to feel the pain fully. Then move on to enhance another friendship or build entirely new friendships.
