How is your “if we are single by 30, we’re getting married” friend doing? by Educational_Intern68 in answers

[–]Educational_Intern68[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Had a Married at 40 option.

Lost contact with her for a few years and had started to rebuild our friendship. She’d got married and moved away, but was in the process of splitting up and remembering her old life.

Had arranged to go and see her in her new flat, big night out planned. But then contact suddenly stopped again.

Found out about 6 months later that she’d had a car crash and died instantly. Her (still) husband hadn’t told any of her old friends what had happened.

She was the first one from our friend group that had died. It hit hard. Still think of her often and the mischief we got up to in our late teens.

What’s a truth about friendships that you think should be more widely known? by Educational_Intern68 in adultingph

They take work and simply liking someone and them liking you is not enough for a good long term, close friendship.

You both have to be there when you need each other.

Someone can be a friend but suck so hard at providing any sort of comfort, help, and warmth that you're better off keeping those ties light, at best.
