Linda Lajterman suffered one of the worst experiences of her life while on a cruise with her husband and two other couples. Halfway through the trip, one of her friends stopped talking to her—for good.
Ms. Lajterman says she has no idea what prompted the woman, who was one of her best friends, to cut her off. They helped take care of each other's kids, celebrated family events together and shared confidences. After the cruise, which took place a few years ago, she called her friend and asked for an explanation, but received none. She says she was devastated.

Sounds like a bunch of melodramatic and overly needy people in that article.
Friendships come and go for many different reasons and to me they do seem to have a lifespan in general. I have found in my own experience and seeing others that there will probably only be 2-3 really good friends in your life that stay with you and in contact with through moves and job changes and all the rest.
It is said the human brain can only keep track of 150 people and relationships and I believe that is probably true.
How to break up with a friend? Stop loaning him tools, money, gas, food and catering to his unreasonable demands. It may take 2 Years, but they get the hint!
Well I've had that happen to me too, and it still bothers me years later. It would have been so much better to have an explanation but when I asked, she offered none. Life goes on, but at least you usually get an explanation when your BF/GF drops you. Also, I've had people drift away and have done so myself--that's a bit easier to take than having someone just suddenly cut you off.

He had plenty of explanations from all the rest of us guys. He just didn't think we would actually do it. The thing that finally broke the camels back was he had about $3,000 worth of our tools which he never intended to return. Come on fellas, we are going to get are s*** back!!!

Sometimes when people are in their teens and are going through all sorts of changes this sort of thing can happen when they lose common interests and go in different directions but it would be troubling to have that happen as an adult especially if it was a close friendship and you didn't have a clue what happened. I haven't had that happen personally but I've seen it happen to people I know and I realize how hurtful that could be. I remember that my uncle who I was very close to growing up tended to hold grudges over unimportant matters and would disown friends or even family if he felt betrayed in some way. He stopped speaking to his own Mother who lived only a block away and didn't once see her for something like 35 years when she passed away. He did the same thing with his own brother and disowned him as well. Then his neighbor who'd been one of his best friends for many years got into an argument about a tool my uncle loaned him which as I recall was a drill and the neighbor kicked the tool across the ground into my uncle's yard and they never spoke again. It's often foolish incidents such as this or imagined betrayals which cause these things to happen which is a shame because it can be such a painful thing to those involved.
