Top 3 Reasons Why Female Friendships End

Antoinette McGowan
We are friends and as close as sisters. We do everything together and are inseparable. Life has meaning now that we have found each other and formed the bonds of friendship. No one ever sees us apart. To see one of us without the other is something out of the norm. We share everything, close, secrets, hopes and dreams.

We that is the way friendships are suppose to be. Unfortunately when it comes to friendships between females the bonds of friendship that were forged sometimes get broken. But why do friendships end between females? Do they end over a great betrayal or over minor things? The truth is when it comes to friendships between females, the lifelong friendship can end over something very trivial.

Top 3 reasons why female friendships end:

Didn't keep a secret.

Your friendship with your female friend can end if you tell a secret that she trusted you with. No one wants to trust in someone and confide in them only to have that person run and tell someone else. Don't want to lose a good friend, then keep your mouth shut. Loose lips don't really sink ships but loose lips do destroy people. When you do this you destroyed yourself, because you just lost a great friend.

Conflict over a guy.

Females are great at competing against each other for a guy's attention. More so among their friends. Why we are like this I don't honestly know. To keep a friendship with your female friend the best thing I can tell you to do, is to not compete with her over a guy. No matter how much you may like this guy, he is not worth losing a friend over. You know that you and your friend are great together and are very close. Do you honestly know how great you and this guy will be? No you don't. So in the majority of cases the guy is not worth losing a friend over.

Borrowed items returned damaged.

Yep this one can cause a lot of conflict among you and your friend. Come on ladies, we are all females and we all know how emotional we can become over our possessions. If you borrow your friend's favorite shirt and return it to her with a big stain on it, then you are asking for a fight. You know this and you know how to make it right with her. But being females we just don't always take the steps to make this right. So let me out line it to the ones who will sit there and say, " Well I told her I was sorry". Honey you know that is not going to make it right. To make it right from the start and avoid a fight , you need to offer to replace it. For future reference if you have problems with taking care of what your borrowed , then don't borrow from your friends anymore.

    I've had female friendships end for other reasons, but I agree it was over something trivial.
