What do you do..if one of your best friends..continually rips your heart out,promising all the time to change...they change for a while and go right back to their old self,hurting you again. Do you cut all ties with them..or do you give them yet another chance?

You cut something else....

If they where you true friend, they wouldn't do that i would cut all ties but that just me hope the best for you val

sometimes u have to distance yourself and hope they will change

Don't believe it! No way.

Up to you....go with your instincts..."they" say everyone deserves a second chance because we all make mistakes....i guess it depends on what the mistake is....if you choose to give them a 2nd chance and it happens again...RUN!!!

Tell your friend you can't and won't be around them if they continue to act that way. I had to do the same with a freind and she would not change, so i had to kick her to the curb. i did not want to but she left me no choice.

Cut all ties. I'm a loving and forgiving person, but at this point it is ripping you apart.

I know how that goes. I'm pretty non-confrontational and I hold a lot in. I tend to just deal with it, go home and eat some chocolate then pick up where I left off the next day. I didn't talk to one of my best friends for over a year because of it and things are still strange between us...but best of luck to you

Punch him/her in the nose. Repeatedly. Then tell said friend that you will continue to punch him/her in the nose... repeatedly... until said friend stops with the verbal jabs and the insults.

Tough love. Ya gotta love it.

depends how many chances I've already given them.

Ya know, when I looked back at my "best friend" in high school, I realized that he was a real buttface who wasn't worth my time.

He kissed me one night in my sleep when he knew I didn't like him.

He was the first to pressure me into smoking cigs.

He was the first to pressure me into smoking pot.

He knew I didn't eat pork and tricked me into eating it one day and I got really sick.

He drank with me a lot and didn't take me to the emergency room when I almost died one time from alcohol poisoning.

He stopped being friends with me after I agreed to date him since he kept begging me and he got all mad that I dumped him.



These days, I don't let my friends hurt me continuously. If they hurt me more than once, on purpose or because they simply SUCK at being a good friend, they're gone.

(((((((((hugggggssssss))))))))))))) Thanx everyone no wonder I my JSH family..you guys are wonderful..you helped me reach a decision.

Val listen to me people may evolve but they never change
Tough as it, is it is your call.

I've stuck by some friends who have gone through some pretty tough stuff and was glad that I did...then I've had friends who tried to drag me down with them that I had to severe the relationship...it really hurts but it's sometimes the only thing left.

cut 'em loose.

people who claim to be your "friends" and are not really friendly, don't deserve your friendship

i am all about forgiveness but some people are just not worth your time or energy

Thats my problem..this person is starting to drag me down with them..and I can't go down that road..but i love this person like family...

the words "continuously rips your heart out" and "another chance" should never be in the same sentence. you know what you have to do. good luck

yes I do...thank you bastet

cut the cord. it sounds to me like a case of a psychic vampire preying on those more fortunate whether it be financially or emotionally. i say cut the person off and make it hurt.
