I am in the same situation. Just tell the person how you feel, and you need to take your time for yourself. So far, it has been working for me. But I miss them very much.flowerforyou

I find straight honesty to be the best solution since simply avoiding makes hurt feelings last longer and misunderstandings unavoidable.

If its the best thing to go, you have to move on, keep yourself really busy all the time.

Be honest with them. If the respect you and value you as a friend they will understand. But if not you have to do what's right for you.

It's hard but you always have people you can talk to here!

I was in that situation... I just simply stopped talking... I ended up moving anyway (for my job) but we just had sooo many differences in things. I had told her how I felt. I told her that I will help her as long as she helped herself. She didn't and wouldn't... so for my own sanity, I ended it.

Sorry can't advise you on this one. The way I see it if there was true love and caring for this other person then there would be no reason to end the friendship. Best of luck on that one! flowerforyou

one of my old friends just seemed to suck the life out of a room when she walked in. She was ALWAYS the victim. She never did anything to improve her situation and wanted everyone to feel bad and help her. It got very very old... I know it may sound selfish, but you gotta take care you first. It just shouldn't be so hard to be someone's friend.

The best thing is to just let them know what you want to do. Nobody deserves having to hold something inside or feel helpless to any situation.

Being a friend is better than having friends.
