We all intend for our friendships to last a lifetime. But of course, there are circumstances beyond our control that may cut these relationships short, much to our deep disappointment.
And as these people shared, it sometimes takes only one action for it all to come crashing down. They all had the courage to relive the painful moment, one that will likely stay with them for the rest of their lives.
If you have any similar experiences, feel free to share them in the comments.

“Consoled” me 10 minutes after my father [passed away] by telling me that she got engaged an hour earlier. She was mad that I wasn’t as excited as I “should’ve” been. I “should’ve been honoured” because my dad reminded her boyfriend that life was short and that’s why he proposed in the first place.

My husband and her were in a band together. We had kids. She didn’t like that it meant he had to be a father. She started demanding every sec of his time. Started making mandatory photo shoots and music video shoots on our special days (my 4 yr olds birthday, Mother’s Day, etc). Told me my job is to handle everything and let him live his dream and if it meant I don’t have a life then oh well. Ultimately made him choose between us or her. She legit thought he would choose her. When he didn’t, she slandered him all over FB and had threats sent to us. He’s now in his own band and happier than ever.

She told her parents we were going on a trip. They had a very bad car accident, her mom thinking she was with me called my mom at 4 am. I will never forget the face of my mom when she entered in to my room yelling my name, for a second my mom thought I was actually with her cause we were best friends at the time. That was the last straw, she was hanging with [users] and stuff and I didn’t like that environment. But she almost causing my mom a heart attack was unforgettable, my mom slept with me that night.
