Do you code it a DNR or do you move on and realize that your world as you have known it for a very long while is not going to be the same? I want to hear from my readers - what do you do when a friendship dies? How do you know when one is over? Have you had some good experiences that were positive when you stuck a fork in a friendship or did it all go terribly wrong? *image from sadmuffin.net … [Read more...]
