No matter how upsetting, at least i's clear: you were a ‘couple and now you're not, When a friendship cools, it's seldom so straightforward, The experts, however, are on hand to offer help. As faras they're concemed there are two possible ways to end it. First we have what I call ‘the slow fade out. Irene Levine, Professor of Psychiatry at New York University and author of a book on the subject explains, Sometimes its possible to downgrade the relationship by seeing the person less or to dilute it by seeing the person with a group’ If you have a Tot of mutual friends, or are likely still to see each ‘other, “downgrading” makes things less awkward but ifthe friend is too naive or self-absorbed to rea the signals, or just really persistent, it may not be ‘enough, Eventually you may need to do the decent thing and dump them properly. Its then that you need the other method where you actually tell the person that the friendship is ‘ver and that takes courage and honesty. It doesn’t Ihave to be cruel but it does mean telling someone ‘you were once close to why you feel they are no Tonger worthy of your time. No ane likes to hear that, so you need to tread carefully, wams Jodyne L Speyer, author of another book on dealing with this problem. Speyer suggests giving a warning: ‘If you tell me something's wrong, maybe I can fix, and if T can't, then at least 1 knew this was coming, s0 i prepares me. And be kind about i, say, “Here's what’ not working” I don't need 00 reasons, but let me know ‘shat the problem iso Lean have that information and move on, 1 don't have to agree with it but at least T have something’ This is difficult to do, of course, but according (0 Speyer it gets easier with practice: “When you're clear about your feelings, ‘ther people respond to that.

Most friendships, even very good ones, don las forever? Levine says, "Yer women particularly are brought up to believe the romanticised notion of “best friends forever". In our eulcure, we are judged by our al to make and keep friends, so we have a hard time getting over the los ofa best fiend and see it as a Personal failure’ Things are made worse by the fat that many end so slowly ‘When friendships dit, we rarely discuss i says relationship psychotherapist Paula Hal, ‘Because they usually dont end in fine 69 conflict, there is no closure.

But acconding, to Epstein, there is hope, even in the cheap seats, because fiiendships arn't stati, so people can move from one area ofthe stadium to another. Someone ‘who starts out in the stands perhaps classmate oF neighbour ~ can be promoted via the grandstand to the box seats.
