When Friendships End

Jack Daniels



Many sims expect that their friends will always be there. They expect friendship to last forever. Yet, friendships end and friends part company everyday and even the best maintained friendships can end.

Some end because of a change in personality. Often once a sim has altered their personality for whatever reason-their former friends may not be able to maintain the same type of relationship and thus the relationship falls apart.

Rarely, losing a friendship is the result of a evil spell of wish from a genie on his bad day. More often it is a change in lifestyle that causes friendships to end. Many know that when there is a new baby in the house-it is harder to make contact with your friends or even sleep for that manner. A new marriage can cause the newlyweds to focus on each other and their relationship and forget about their friends from before the marriage.

Sometimes the process of time makes friends drift apart. The friendship slowly loses importance and finally disappears.

Regardless of why, when, or how friendships end, there is always some pain of loss to assimilate. When nothing can be done to mend the friendship, it is important to grieve and feel the pain fully. Then move on to enhance another friendship or build entirely new friendships.
