Is there a polite way to end a friendship that just isn’t working?
I have always made friends easily, even throughout moving several times for my husband’s career. I’m so thankful for that. Some have become lifelong friends, and some were just close during similar ages/stages of raising our children. This is all fine and expected in life!
To be clear, there’s no toxic behavior; they’re nice, good people overall. Maybe our personalities just aren’t a great fit or we don’t have much in common. Life is busy, and I’d like to spend my free time with those I enjoy being with.friendship without explanation is now known as ghosting, and is considered bad form. It leaves the deserted person floundering, not sure what is happening or why. So the standard recommendation is: Just be honest.
