I used to make everyone be friends with each other. It's seen here too. I like keeping everyone together at times. I couldn't see people be enemies...so I would bring people come together but when growing up I've come to meet many nasty people in form of friends...it sucks really.

Few people know how to be a TRUE friend. Very few.

I have never "dumped" a friend. EVER. When i make a friend, it is for life. I might lose touch with that person for a period of time, even YEARS but i have reconnected with good HS friends, college friends and so forth. When i say you are "my friend" it is for life come hell or high water, EVEN if you hurt me.

I have, after a couple bouts of lies, deceit and theft giving that person another chance was like giving him another bullet to shoot me with.

And after the last incident he said I should have known better and known what type person he is. I know better now, that tiger won't change his stripes.

I have never dumped a friend:
"Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of the enemy are deceit".
That is the motto i live by. Proverbs 27:6

A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Fuzz, I've never broken any of my friendships too - infact I've had people leave me instead like I was someone horrible. They could never justify their reasons too or that they did it was clouded judgement on their part. Or they believed rumours instead of me.
Now I remember at high school, all my friends close or not trusted me. If someone can trust you with their secrets then you know you're a good person.

Junkies can't be trusted whether they claim to be your friend or not.

Um, do you know a lot junkies or something? Just one but from what I understand they all do pretty much anything to feed their addiction, and it's knew. He hid it well from me, his wife, his kids, our employers. Now there is no wife, no kids, no house and no employer.

Yes, well that is the nature of addiction. I still wouldn't necessarily abandon a friend. I would have to set clear boundaries for sure, but i would still be there.

You are a better person than I am then. He's in prison now, for the second time. The company didn't take fraud lightly. Sometimes ya' just have to cut the ties.

This is very true. Again I'll say . . . not everyone who comes into your life is meant to be permanent. But, all serve a purpose one way or another.

Well that is something you have o decide for yourself. And, there are times you probably do need to end it. But, i think that your best friend is "the person walking in when the rest of the world is walking out". You can still ove taht person and not approve of everything they do.

Correct, not the person abandoning his family, defrauding his partner and employer and waking into prison.
