Carole King's song, You've Got a Friend promises “Winter, spring, summer, or fall — all you've got to do is a call — and I'll be there”．
Many people expect friendship to last forever. Unfortunately, even the best maintained friendships can end. Paul said, “When I moved to Seattle after college, we were so far apart and our friendship suddenly died. Now that friendship is so dead, and I don't even call him when I go home.”
Many end because of a change in personality or lifestyle when friends disappear with time. There is a retreat (逃避) from selfdisclosure (公开) and seeking out each other's company. The friendship slowly loses importance and finally disappears. Disagreement also ruins friendship.
Bob Carver, Dallas psychotherapist, says, “A friendship or any other relationship fails because of three things: unexpressed expectations, undelivered communication and prevented attention.”
Yet the biggest threat to a friendship is change.
For example, moving from a single life to a coupled life has a great effect on friendship. Coupled persons may feel jealous of or ignored by a single friend's new social life. The single friend may feel uncomfortable with a world of pairs.
Lillian Rubin in her book Just Friends says, “Thus generally it's true that friends accept each other so long as they both remain essentially the same as they were when they met, or change in similar directions. If they change or grow in different ways, the friendship most likely will be lost.”
Regardless of why, when, or how friendships end, there is always some pain of loss. When nothing can be done to mend the friendship, it is natural to feel sad and feel the pain fully. Then move on to build entirely new friendships.
