True, it actually wasn't a real friendship. Kind of weird to acknowledge that now, but it's true. They say birds of a feather flock together but that's not necessarily a good thing.

it isn't the most comfortable situation, but if you look at the big picture and what is important to YOU, after a while, you realize it is just another evolvement that is no one's fault or responsibility....it just happens as it is meant to be. |
I guess I'm just not as used to walking away from situations. Getting better at it, but this is a "big one" for me to walk away from.
I feel more relaxed about this, I appreciate the feedback guys. I realize it's not necessarily the huge deal I'm making it out to be. I was half expecting "don't ever burn bridges! Real friends area always there for each other!" I had those ideas in my head and they were making me feel guilty. Less so, now.
I really feel a huge wave of relief washing over me, glad I asked the question.
