you asked for opinions, I gave you mine. it's what you get when you post on an open forum. you don't have to like my opinion but hey it's an option I thought might work. to me if you want to end a friendship and not deal with someone, well then don't deal with them. emotionally, physically, what ever.

I have had friends like this who wouldn't let go...even after I ended the friendship..finally I had to cease all contact. either you want contact and are friends and need to keep contact or you don't want contact and are not friends. emotional energy or not. if we are not friends then I am not worried about their energy.

physical no contact? I assume you want no contact with someone who is not your friend?

please do what ever you want. it's your life and your friend.
