The question then is: what happens when this tolerance turns to avoidance? If you find yourself avoiding a friend group, canceling plans or frequently making excuses for why you can’t join them, it might be time to bow out. Allison Forti, an assistant teaching professor in Wake Forest University’s counseling department, says due to this lack of time and opportunities, we tend to put more weight into the friends we do have and may feel more willing to tolerate less than perfect relationships. But does that also explain why it’s so hard to leave old friends? Dr. Nothing never too good to give him or do for him, but the man is a wolf in sheep clothing.With less time and fewer opportunities to cultivate close friendships, it can be difficult to make new friends. This man was my real G, grow up with him and them things, eat out of the same pot. From that day I just have him off, I don't even make him know say me and the lady start link back. She called me and told me everything and that she missed me and all. He was trying to kick away my foot, but the lady didn't like how he did the 'work'. When I confronted him, the man only seh “Jah know” and a pretend him don't have a clue about anything. The lady used some big words pan mi seh mi disingenuous and I have betrayed her and I am an opportunist and those words deh. ![]() When she started doing more and more things for me, a good friend of mine (who I got the security work and everything for) link up with the old lady and told her about my woman. She didn't know that I had a bona fide girl or anything. I am with this older woman who really 'check' for me. I just never thought she would do this to me. she knows it all and still she does this to me, my heart has been broken into a million pieces. My children's father is deceased and I have no help. I have not been able to see through any of it. Last I heard was that she found some man and is in the States with no intention of returning. As it is, I am half a million in debt on my meagre teacher salary with my three children. The school has not heard from her and her landlord said that she moved out. She made two payments on a $330,000 loan and as soon as the financial institution contacted me and I checked in to see what was happening after months of non-payment, she blocked me and disappeared off social media. I felt comfortable standing guarantor for the loan, since she was my friend. She said she would repay me as soon as she received her retroactive payment from the Government. Last year, she said she needed to pay up some money for her son and was considering taking a loan to do this because she didn't want him to miss his exams. She tried reaching out several times, but I want nothing to do with her.įive years ago a teacher joined staff and we developed a good friendship. I heard she lost the baby at about five months. I cut her off completely and had my husband move into another room. I confronted them both, and they fessed up eventually. This continued for about two more months until another friend from the country called me to tell me the child the woman was carrying was my husband's. My husband, by this time, started putting in extra time working to make me happy. ![]() I told her to take as much time as needed and continued to help her. About seven months into the job she said she would need to cool down on work a bit because she felt her children's father had got her pregnant again. ![]() Normally, I wouldn't be on alert but the body language said something to me. He was giving her things for her and her kids outside of me tipping her. I soon realised that she and my husband has got chummy. The commute from the country every day would have been too much, so I told her she could stay at my house when she needed to. She also asked me to check if other people needed a similar service. She said that instead of paying a helper and still having to help her (financially), she would do some days work for me. Some years ago she reached out to me she was out of work and needed an income. My childhood friend turned out to be a she-devil. ![]() These readers are all too familiar with that feeling. We blissfully, unashamedly spill our guts, speak our truths, and lay our secrets bare without of fear of judgement or betrayal.īut while in the hands of the right friends we feel protected, letting our guards down can sometimes come with a hefty price – heartbreak. Perhaps because we trust our old friends even more than transcient lovers, or we think they can't hurt us as much, but some of the deepest relationships we have are platonic, and for most of us these are our safe havens. WE are often warned to guard our hearts against the sting of heartbreak in matters of romance but with friendships not so much.
