Tomorrow’s post!

Finished this one from awhile ago. I’ll try that whole sharing personal stories next so feel free to skip lol (tw? Idk how much I’ll write but just in case: addiction)

My friendships tend to last stupidly long. We talking 10+ years by now for most of them. So it’s not usual for me to go through these situations mentioned on the comic. However I‘ve had one particular friendship breakup that was rough and took around 3 years to be really over with. At least on my end, idk where the other side actually stands nowadays. Tho it’s not my problem anymore.

We were friends since we were both 4 years old. We were neighbours and started to be partners in crime for all kinds of games, pranks and whatever kid shenanigans. We ended up being like brothers by 12yo, when we kind of thought it’d be a good idea to date eachother bc of external pressure (specially adults which was weird af). In about a week we talked about it again and decided it was indeed uncomfortable cause nobody wants to kiss someone they feel is like family lmao. Our friendship was only stronger after that and we used to be each others ultimate wingman. Has appeared on some comic at least twice.

We weren’t exactly exemplar teenagers. So when he started abusing more and more I just tried to advice against it and be there whenever I could. Honestly didn’t think much of it, I was doing sketchy things too. But he was a different person by the time we were 20yo. More violent and senseless. And a year later so many fucked up things happened that it didn’t even matter if he wasn’t abusing anymore. We could not continue to be friends. I was put through a lot. Having to comfort his crying stepmom on several occasions, go to rundown places at 4am to get him home or make sure he was ok. Or him crashing my house, completely out of it, trying to do things. Or hearing extremely insulting stuff about my lack of care and “questionable behaviour” as a friend, all meanwhile cleaning his fucking mess so nobody found out and kicked him out to the streets. I wasn’t having it anymore after being nothing but the most supportive friend and family to him. He’s doing a bit better now, we’re both 25yo. But since he hasn’t reached out to me (he still thinks I did him wrong and abandoned him out of nowhere one day) this is where we at. I won’t put any more of myself into what became an unilateral relationship. Almost 20 years of friendship to be strangers to each other now. It hurt more than any romantic relationship fall out. You get over those in 1-2 weeks, top lol Wish it would have unfolded differently but no point dwelling in the past.

If you read this far, I’m so sorry for you ajajaj fr tho thank you💕
