When friendships end, it can be a painful and confusing experience. There are many reasons why friendships end, and it can be helpful to understand the different ways that ex-friendships can come to an end.
Some friendships end gradually, as people grow apart and their interests change. Other friendships end more abruptly, due to a conflict or disagreement. In some cases, friendships may end due to external factors, such as a move or a change in circumstances.
