Best friend

I just read a crazy stat that 91% of people are no longer friends with someone they once considered to be a best friend.
Have you ever grown apart from someone you used to consider to be your best friend?

Yes, I lost my BFF to drugs & alcohol long before I lost her permanently, we still considered each other our BFF, but we barely spoke, she’d just let me know she was alive every once in a while. I’ve had a lot of best friends since her, none lasted, 2 were men, when I left my ex I found out the hard way that one just thought of me as a carnival ride he’d been waiting for his turn for a decade. The other had dumped me as a friend when he got married, she didn’t want him around me & I was confused. Then he came begging me to have an affair w/him bc “wifey bad, she’ll take my daughter” BS. Yeah he showed up at my folks house when he found out I left my ex, I thought he was breaking the boundary to show his support for me, that was 14.5yrs ago, we never talked again & he got divorced a few years ago, his “evil” ex wife didn’t take their daughter either, imagine that.🙄
My last BFF has remained, however we did end up together & are currently 14yrs into our happily ever after.

One of my best friends, who was also my maid of honor, friends of over 20 years, decided I was too selfish when I had 2 under 2 and PPD. So we are no longer friends lol. She was and is childless if that gives any context 🫠
