Have you ever given up on a long-term friendship?

I’m trying to wrap my head around some revelations I’ve had concerning my best friend of 38 years. I’ve realized she’s not the person I used to love.

She was exaggerating truths to prove a point and admitted to feelings about me she’s had all these years. I thought being best friends was about being completely open and honest with each other. Apparently that wasn’t the case with her.

I’m thinking about slowly distancing myself because I can’t do fake. I’m honestly hurt and I can’t see myself being close with someone who can’t be honest with me.

Have you given up on a relationship you’ve had for years? I’d love to know what happened and/or how you handled the situation.
