Countless books, songs, concepts, opinion and reality shows usually come up with tips on how to call it quits with a boyfriend. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that there are even movies to this effect – one of them talks about losing a guy fast – just in ten days.
However, I guess you’ve probably come across very few books, or even none with the title. How to Dump Your Best Friend: 5 Simple Steps to Calling It Quits With the Girl, who Has Become Part of Your Life for These Five Years. It obviously wouldn’t be a suitable title for a book – or what do you think?
Awkwardly, the “I think we should stop seeing each other” seem not to apply in this situation. It happens though – I mean the ‘friend dump’ thing. When it hits you, what is your response? How do you take it? And does it necessitate that you return the lovely cashmere pullover which you collected. I mean borrowed?
Okay, I’m wearing this pinching shoe right now; for almost five years, I had this friend who was the best and could not just be separated from me. It was a strong bonding that could only be described as soul mates. All our interests were the same – politics, literature, music, just name them. It was our sizes that didn’t match – while I was the skinny, she was a size six. However, both of us loved fashion. We both had male friends who came and left, but our friendship was more exciting and remained firm. The depth of our friendship was more than that of a man and a woman.
She lived in the same city as I. People often see us together – just me and my friend. My friend and I. We did just everything together – just think of Laverne and Shirley on track, and you are picturing me and my friend.
We moved on with our bonding. Eventually, she left the city, just about the same time I was also leaving. While she went for her internship, I secured a job in a different city. I know you would guess that we stayed in touch – you are right. Of course, what would you have expected of BFF – Best Friends Forever? We got engaged in phone conversation often and for longer hours, doing our best to stay connected with each other.
Just like me, she did not seem to find a lady that thrilled her – the guys on their part were so-so… The anxiety and worries of separation were so much for us, but we eventually moved on. Before long, she got engrossed with her internship program, while I got engrossed in my job – and of course men – now don’t look at me that way.
Well, this was how our friendship progressed naturally. Now that we are both adults and married, it appears her thoughts are different, and I guess mine too. Natural separation just played its course.
