most grew apart.

Some I try to limit.

I have like two "good, close" friends.

I cant be everything to everyone all the time.

Once. Dude was basically my brother. Got involved in a bunch of crazy junk I couldn't/cant afford to be associated with. I'd still do anything for him in a heartbeat though.

He tried to tell me his dad was lying about him and that he would never do that. I told him he needed to get help and have a nice life. I didn't unfriend him on FB though. Just have not talked to him since, more than 3 months ago.

Growing apart, yes.

I've also broken off a few 'relationships' because they were infecting my life and influencing me negatively.

Grew apart. In my case, I moved to NYC and all of my friends got married and have kids. Almost everyone has a professional career so any free time that my friends have are spent with their families.

I am still friends with my core group of guys, but we barely see each other. We all have families, and that just takes priority.

Grown apart with kids in the picture and distance to boot.

But

If I got a call saying that he needed my help, I'd be there in a heartbeat. So we are still friends that don't hang out as much but when it comes to important shite we tight.

I had a friend tell our group he wasn't going to hang with us anymore because we were trouble makers

This, or kids. But it's more of a growing apart than a breaking off the relationship.

Sometimes even without family reasons getting in the way, your interests change over the years. They still want to go out while you'd rather have drinks at home instead of in a bar; things like that. Or your hobbies change and they continue to want to do the same thing, so you find other people to share those new interests with.

I can agree with this also. Most of my past good friends & I haven't hung out in a long time, but if any of them called me, I'd be there for them and vice versa.

As I got older and got married and had kids, doing things with some of the people that used to be friends with became impossible. I grew apart from most of them because if responsibilities and family stuff. I just can't do the same stuff I could as a single guy

Dude stole from his dad, he'll steal from you. Sounds like a piece of shite, and you should probably question who you are calling "friends".

I grew up the guy and went to Ole Miss together and was in the same frat with him. We have history.

Even after I finished college (within the last year), I haven't really hung out with my friends that often. Might be just getting used to the working life and having more free time of my one. I mean they'll text/call me, and I'll respond, but I haven't actually gotten together as much as I'd like since HS/College has finished.

Posting on this site doesn't help this matter, either
