Ladies of Wings and Halos (and heavenly men, if any wish to comment)
I would like to ask for your thoughts, humor or just general support.
No answer is too short or long and nothing you share will be discounted.
I may one day go into greater detail, if there seems to be some reason to muster up the energy to do so, however, at this stage, I am in the 'investigate-tress' phase
How do you know when an existing friendship with another female can no longer continue?
Once you have made up your own mind to sever ties, what is a respectful way to convey this decision to the other person, ESPECIALLY when the other person of said friendship, does not wish to be 'unfriended' and will more than likely ask WHY and WHEN you arrived at this decision?
I feel that I have passed the point of having a 'discussion' about my decision, as it seems that in doing so, I would be communicating an interest to move beyond my the past, in an attempt to start fresh or start over...for which I do not.
I am a kind, forgiving human, one who is well aware of her own flaws and short-comings, but as I age, I find it only in sound judgement, that my own well-being and that of my family, must precede the needs and wants of others. I do not befriend others to gain reciprocation of that which I invest, however, at some point one has to be honest with themselves about the amount of negativity he or she wants to invite and willingly (even passively) accept in their lives.
I never like to make enemies, but in order to be truthful to myself, I must proceed with this decision...even though I feel certain that sharing this decision, will cause the other person to be hurt and confused.
I have observed over time that the combination of these two emotions has resulted in some very unlady-like behavior from this female.
I guess you only are enemies, if both parties agree to participate in some type of 'war', which I refuse to partake in...but I'll just say it...
I'm skeered /default_unsure.png
So, there you have it.
You can share a past experience that you think would shed light on my own or just your opinion...it is all useful, valuable information to me.
And...just so there's no misunderstandings, this female has absolutely nothing to do with this community.
Didn't think anyone would actually question this, but I felt it only appropriate for me to state the fact.
Thank you kind and angelic ones,
