But, we have to do it sometimes. I just had to recently as well. I miss her but realize that I'm better off without her dragging me down. Glad that you're taking steps to make sure you're respected, and all your friends are true friends!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18200080391601285593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130713168432547154.post-14586635752588768252012-06-04T20:03:11.738-04:002012-06-04T20:03:11.738-04:00Definitely can relate to this.

Do I let her go? Do I not? Is it worth it to me to keep "being her friend" when we don't ever spend time together? She has never been abusive toward me, but it's like I don't exist to her. Anyways, I'm glad you were able to buck up and say goodbye to him. It sounds like the best!

I'm so very sorry. The best advice ...Oh Leslie. I'm so very sorry. The best advice my Mom gave me years ago was that "there's no such thing as having too many friends, or too much love." But when someone stops being a friend and treating you with love, you have to move on. God never intended us to live in a toxic situation. My Mom was right - that's why closing the door on a friendship is so difficult and painful. But praise God for new beginnings, and ushering people into your life that will uplift, encourage & love you! I've said this before... the man that lands your heart will have to be someone supremely special and one lucky son of a gun ;) Wishing you happiness & joy my friend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130713168432547154.post-86265650804139559822012-05-30T20:58:10.622-04:002012-05-30T20:58:10.622-04:00As you know from one of my previous posts, I can d...As you know from one of my previous posts, I can definitely relate. I have a really hard time completely cutting someone out of my life. Like you, I'm a people pleaser. I hate having someone mad at me or hurting someones feelings.
