You were unhappy with the friendship, so you took care of yourself and your feelings. Kudos!

but she didn't actually say she was unhappy with the friendship nor unhappy with her friend's behavior or anything of the like. I agree at some level that distancing herself from this person is a good thing but not due to the friend being a bad friend or anything, only being successful. the OP isn't sure she is doing the right thing to write off someone that hasn't actually done anything wrong so Idk if I'd chalk it up as similar to your situation really. What her friend has succeeded in isn't even close to having different political views or life values or anything like that. Sounds like this is purely based on jealousy of her friend's success and I think that needs to be dealt with internally and I wouldn't be so quick to write off a friend and burn that bridge.
