Woman Livid After Fiancée Goes Through Her Mail To Investigate Her Credit Card Debt
I've always let go of people too late.
Because I ignore the warning signs.
Half of the time I can sense something off and I choose to get closer because... "that'll fix the problem."
Not all friendships are meant to last forever.
That can be a difficult truth to hold.
People grow apart or become evil.
You just have to pray they don't come back with blackmail.
Redditor TreyTheEyeball wanted to hear how great friendships came to an end and asked everyone:
"What made you unfriend/hate your best friend?"
The less friends the better.
Cheaper for Christmas.
Punch
"Realized he wasn't just roasting me as friends do but was treating me like a human punching bag in front of other ppl to make jokes."

I have never looked back...
"He was a pathological liar, manipulative and told all of my most trusted secrets to everyone because he wanted to feel powerful and like he controlled me. Haven’t spoken a word in 5 years and I have never looked back."
rojarty
"Had a friend just like that. Eventually tried to drive a wedge between my fiancé, me, and all of our friends. Our closest friends kind of let me in on what was going on behind the scenes, which we could already tell, and I eventually booted him from my wedding altogether."
"10 yrs later I was going to be moving back into the state he lived in, and I reached out to see if he’d grown up. He apologized for everything, owning it all seemingly. Then a few hours later informed me he was a realtor and to let him know once I’m house hunting. Never spoke to him again after that."

15 Years Gone
"I let her and her little dog move in with me and rent a room while she got back on her feet. It was a double wide trailer and she had her own bathroom across from her room. She was nasty, dirty and a drunk. I knew she liked to drink, but not like what I experienced."
"She would leave used tampons on the bedroom floor, plates of half eaten food pushed under the bed and liquor bottles and beer cans all over the place. She would lock her dog out of her room so she could sleep in or nap and it would terrorize my animals."
"I found out from a neighbor that she would sit out on the back porch drinking and instead of coming in to use the restroom she would relieve herself in my little patch of backyard at all hours of the night (she admitted that she did this). The last straw was when I came home from a shopping day out with my daughter and she saw the purchases and said 'well I guess you don’t need my rent then.' A 15 year friendship ruined."

Damn Craig!
"I was trying to quit weed. I asked him 1 thing. If you wanna hang out this week while i'm in the early stages could you not bring any over. He FREAKED out. Kicked up a massive fuss about how I should have willpower. Finally I said fine just don't come over for a couple of weeks while I get my head straight. So he apologised said he was wrong. Came over. Sparked up a pre rolled joint 2 minutes in. F**k you Craig."

Seriously?!
"He got my gf pregnant and congratulated me as a new dad at birth. Didn't figure it out until a few years later."
crank1off
This is all a mess of scandal.
Different Sides
"He started being an a**hole for no reason, I swear. One day he just started to be mean towards me, even to the point that he insulted me many times. I still think about how we went from being 'best friends' to ignoring each other. What did I do to him? It's like he became a totally different person from one day to another."

4 to about 12...
"I wonder if childhood best friends are more a result of proximity, rather than affinity. It seems more common to drift apart once your lives take off."
achakapia
"I’ve come to realize this too. My best friend from age 4 to about 12 was really just because our parents hung out we lived close and once we got older had much different interests and proximity and in the early grade school years had mostly boys in our classes and we were the only girls that knew each other for several years."
Twist_Glass
Things got hard...
"Drugs, we'd been neighbors and friends since we were a few months old."
"At college we met new people as you do. We'd always had other friendship groups outside of each other so I didn't really know her new friends. She started off smoking weed with them, not my thing but pretty harmless in the grand scheme of things."
"Eventually she started taking harder drugs when we'd go out. It was always me that got her home safe."
"It just got to the point where I'd had enough, I couldn't watch her destroy herself like that. I tried to get her help but she wouldn't take it. So I just left, cut all ties and moved away (the move was planned already). No idea what happened to her or if she managed to turn it around, I hope so."

HER!
"She only called or texted to brag or because she needed something. Everything was about her, all the time."

Not every relationship is meant to be forever.
Be at peace about it.
How People Would React To Catching Their Best Friend Sleeping With Their Significant Other
Affairs and infidelity are sadly a more common part of life than we care to admit.
People cheat. it seems to be part of the human condition.
Are we meant to be monogamous?
That's a story for a different article.
I say though, if you're going to cheat... have some basic human decency.
Don't cheat with people you all know.
And how are BFFs not automatically off limits?
Redditor Gifwii wanted to hear all the ways we'd all react when betrayed by the ones we love.
So they asked:
"If you caught your best friend having sex with your wife, what would you do?"
How can people betray one another like that?
Gross
"Be weirded out because they are brother and sister."
roadkilled_skunk
"Haha... I'm also dating my best friend’s sister."
Alcoholic__Engineer
Ok Dateline...
"I'm more concerned on how he found her body."
Smiddy3663
"If he's really your best friend, he helped bury it."

Hey Bestie
"I don't think he would. I had him neutered as a puppy."
a5redwing
"This reply was made extremely funny (or concerning) by the fact that I took it as someone neutering an actual person when they became friends."
DuCKDisguise
Never Cry Wolf...
"Take his car keys and drive to his place. It's all yours now buddy."
gerbageman
"Hol' up, remember to make it official. You have to p*ss a border around your new acquisition like in Never Cry Wolf, and if any relatives of the former owner are present you need to mark the ones you can't mate with, and you know, mate with the others."
SuboptimalButHopeful
"With that logic, I guess his house and and family are mine now? That's okay with me, his wife is pleasant to be around."
Savageturtles
Betrayal...
"That happened to me 30 years ago and I haven’t been able to fall in love since."
TalboGold
"I'd be more unwilling to make best friends than rather than unable to develop a crush."
Equivalent_End5
The rudeness of it all.
An Assist?
"Ask if she wants help..."
"Since they're the same person."

Revenge
"Have sex with his wife. It’s only fair."
ami2weird4u
"My ex fiancée had an affair with a married man. Talked to his wife, she and I made a sex video and sent it to them."
Solid-Acanthisitta86
"I'm not a vengeful nor petty person but this kind of turned me on."
dipstyx
Evidence
"Record it for evidence then talk to a divorce lawyer on how to get a divorce without losing anything."
"Thank them both and move on with my life."
Wraisted
"In most states, the fault isn't a thing that matters beyond the reason. It just may waive the cooling off period... at fault divorces mattering in regards to separation of property ended in the 70's for the vast majority of the country."
"Apparently they discovered that people lie, and it is rarely a clear cut 'this person is the only one guilty.'"
Dredly
GO!
"I'd have to leave, or else I'd commit murder. I would then leave forever, I think I would just leave everything behind and become a nomad at that point and never look back."
AlavarTheBlue
"Also my first thought. Never a more compelling moment to finally hit the road and live every day like it's my last."
yes_yup_uh_huh
"Maybe tomorrow I'll wanna settle down..."
Lost to Me
"Well, it is an extreme level of cheating. One thing is to find your wife in bed with a lover but whole other to find her with your best friend. It is multi-level betrayal and that would leave a huge impact on my future life. Not that I would be sorry for losing that person but because it would make me hard to trust anyone after that. Hope that never happens to me or anyone I know."
Didytz
LOL
"Exclaim, 'Bob! What the hell? I HAVE to sleep with her, but you??!!'"
Slartytempest
This is more common than you think. Watch Dateline.
