’m sure it’s not easy to break up with a friend, but that difficulty can’t be the excuse to lead a double life and exclude said friend from every group while pretending to get along.

Either way, when someone pushes back t

This is by far the weirdest fight I've ever heard in a roommate situation, so much so that I started creating theories in my mind to determine why I don’t think this friend is being truthful about her motives to keep her friend outside her workplace.
