In real life, yes. I had a friend who could NOT show up on time if her life depended on it. This was before cell phones, so I'd be waiting somewhere for her to show up and I'd wait and wait and wait. I'd be afraid to wander off to find a pay phone for fear I'd miss her or I would find a phone nearby and call. She'd either still be at home or there would be no answer.


I finally decided (and it's definitely my fault that I let this go on as long as it did) that obviously my company wasn't worth enough value to her to make an effort to show up on time. At that point, I decided to "divorce" her. I finally accepted that my time was valuable, too, and I deserved more respect from a friend.

I have former friends I can't even remember. People change for many reasons. You move on. No need to add drama to it.

I've fired many friends in real life.

Of course. People come and go for various reasons.

Yes. When a positive person is going through a hard time, that's one thing. When they turn into a debbie downer, and want someone to be miserable with, forget it.

This!


I must say though that I think this is a question that only the young would phrase that way ... with the term 'unfriended'. I don't 'friend' people .. so I have never 'unfriended' anyone. People come and go though as Mikala said.

Yes, I've unfriended people, and people have unfriended me.

Yep, sure have. She was a user and I don't miss her at ALL.

Every time I'd call her to chat, or vice-versa, she'd invite herself up for a weekend visit. (7 hour drive away) She thought of it as a mini vacation because she wouldn't lift a finger to help cook, clear dishes, pick up behind herself, or bring any food or drinks.

I'm very generous unless I feel I'm being used. Then I'm done.

As I look back and remember all the really good friends that i don't see or talk to anymore because life took us in different directions, its kind of sad... That's the great thing about Facebook.. you can reconnect with old friends, if only for a minute.. then life comes back around and you simply see your old friends life in pictures... still its nice.
