Well I mean not like some traumatic or otherwise horrible ending to it, yeah.

I think, with those two former best friends I mentioned, I felt that when we moved away from each other, the friendships fizzled out naturally. It was the days before social media, so you had to pick up a phone, talk, make plans, to maintain a friendship. I think I felt it was natural that we just grew apart. I felt they were true friendships. I was inseparable best friends with those two, and we never had any arguments.
I do hear you saying, though, in your experience you had a major fallout out with this friend over some issue.

Yes. The problem is it wasn't just one single major fallout. I put myself in harm's way for 4 long years. That's how long I supported her and was there for her and she was doing a lot of those toxic negative things. But I took the burden ok until I got cPTSD from some other sh** in life and then I no longer could.
