Is it okay to cut my losses and move on in this case?

[Anonymous]

I have a really rude friend, who takes me for granted and speaks to me however she wants. I’ve been insulted by her twice within a few months. Although it’s true that she’s a full time carer to her mum, I’m getting sick of making excuses for her bad behaviour, when she’s more respectful to everyone else. I’m thinking since the second time she’s been really nasty, out of the blue, I won’t go out of my way to help her make friends, anymore. I’m wondering, if she makes a habit of being bitchy, if it’s okay to just let the friendship fade and just disappear from her life? I don’t want to be a bad friend, but I get sick of being put down, when I’m the only friend she’s got left.

Girl, I say it's definitely time to cut ties with her for good. You don't need that kind of toxic crap in your life!

Just because she's caring for her mom doesn't give her an excuse to treat you like garbage. A real friend wouldn't constantly insult and take you for granted. You deserve way better than that.

I know it's hard when they don't have other friends, but that's not your problem. You've gone above and beyond as her friend already but enough is enough, you know?

Don't feel bad about fading away - she's the one who drove you to this point with her crappy actions. You gave her chances to change and she blew it. You gotta take care of yourself now.

Let this be a lesson - you don't gotta put up with anyone disrespecting you like that just cause you feel bad cutting them off. You taught her enough lessons already! Time for a clean break, sis. Close that chapter and move on to better people who treat your friendship with respect. You'll be so much happier, I promise!

If you feel betrayed, disregarded, ill-treated, or anything else neg, you need no further reason to bail on someone. Too many nice people out there for anyone to put up with poor treatment unnecessarily.

I have done that on a few occasions and never regretted it.
