Key Points
Last year, a friend asked if we could find time to talk over a video call.I had moved abroad, and our relationship had become strained from the distance.It was a breakup call..
"2 mins," and "I've just been pulled into a meeting!" which had come to characterize so much of our long-distance friendship since I moved abroad two years ago..
Because there's no societal pressure for one friendship to stall out before starting a new one, you could sail through life without ever calling it quits with a pal; there's room for plenty of them in our lives, and so they're also free to make Irish exits when they leave..
I was talking about the concept of friendship breakups with a new buddy of mine, Simone, and she said she had been experiencing something similar, but from the opposite side of the situation..
But the truth was, trying to keep up with various friends across different time zones had started to feel like another life task I was failing at..
