Some people can make good friends… but only when they're kept at an arm's length. Too much time together or in the wrong circumstances, and you might start questioning why you're friends with this person in the first place. You learn this lesson pretty quickly in your twenties when you're looking for roommates and decide that a close friend or an acquaintance who is also looking for a place would be a good person to live with.

You quickly discover that good friends don't necessarily make good housemates, and thus learn a valuable life lesson about other people. As you get older, you'll learn to accept that there will be limitations to the scope of your relationship with these "friends" or stop putting up with these "fair-weather" friends entirely.

While traveling together is supposed to strengthen relationships by creating great experiences and navigating unique new scenarios together, they are undoubtedly trying for any relationship. Many a romantic relationship has had underlying issues come to a head… There's something about the challenges of travel combined with the headspace provided through getting away from the responsibilities of home and work that acts as a catalyst for breakups.

When this woman was kicked out of the car and left stranded in a foreign country by her "friend" after a disagreement. She, in return, cancelled her now ex-friend's flight home that she had paid for. Now, she's wondering if she's in the wrong for doing so.
