Reason I'm breaking the friendship

[Dana Covert82]

Okay. In a nutshell this is why I'm breaking off the friendship.

I have this friend that I will never see again, and I feel in my heart of hearts that it's time to end it. I've been the nastiest friend to him, and if I stay friends, I know and I alone know that I would do things to him that would make him upset.

I wrestled with this and this is, was, and always will be the final decision. I boss him around, get angry easy at him, we're not close at all, and I worry about an ex friend of mine trying to be friends with him. All these are legitimate reasons why I'm ending the friendship. I would be a bull in a china shop if I stayed friends. So, it's over. He's not a bad person. I'm the bad person.

We're hopefully going to be done Tuesday night at 10pm. If you want to know what happened, I'll be glad to tell you. If not, then those that pray, please pray. Thanks.

Tomorrow night is the night hopefully. I don't know if I'll be able to talk to him since I sent the letter about an ex friend of ours. His mom may have banned me. Just keep me in your prayers that all goes well.

I forgot to mention that last Wednesday I tr calling him, and the message on the phone said,"your call has been placed, but the party is not accepting calls from this number." that tells me to give up, but will try tomorrow night and see what happens. If I can't get through, then it's over.

I do not understand your situation but I am praying for a peaceful resolution.

I do not understand your situation but I am praying for a peaceful resolution.

Only God knows what's going on in this situation. I see no resolution. I'm seriously done with this person. I'm moving on with my life and that's it.

 

[Dana Covert82]

I forgot to mention that for fun I called, and it said,"your call was completed but the party is no longer accepting calls at this time.0 in layman terms it means your # has been blocked for good. I'm totally done with him.

I have this other friend Ryan who knows this ex friend and I basically told him to tell him to let him know that the friendship is over because you guys are growing apart. Don't beg to be Dana's friend. Hope he understands that. If not, it's not my problem. I'm done

 

[Dana Covert82]

Well guys. I ended up trying to call him again today and I got the same message. I'm NEEDING this friendship over with.

 

[Dana Covert82]

I didn't call him last night at 9 which was our scheduled time to talk. Do I feel good about it? Yes, I do. I am glad that my #s blocked so I can't get through to him anymore. He needs to get on with his life and so do I. Now that this is over, I'm not going to talk about it anymore. Anyway...

 

[Strypes]

I am glad that there was a peaceful result.

I am glad that there was a peaceful result.

Well I would've liked to have talked to him and ended it myself. But I emailed a friend to see if he could help tell him that we're over as friends. I don't know if he will. We'll see. I'm glad it's o and I can focus on me me me.

A life that pleases the Lord cannot be about self.

A life that pleases the Lord cannot be about self.

What I'm saying is that my life is about me me me, focusing on my friend Lord Jesus Christ. That's what I meant.

Okay, just remember the two greatest commandments, Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, and mind, and the to love thy neighbor as thyself. Dont forget the second part of that also.

 

[Dana Covert82]

What does that mean love thy neighbor as thyself? Not sure how to do that?

 

[Brad Huber]

What does that mean love thy neighbor as thyself? Not sure how to do that?

We all love ourselves. It is evident in that we like to feed our bodies, keep them warm, buy durable clothing, and please ourselves with various activities that bring us joy. It is evidence that we love ourselves. We are to love our neighbor in the same way "as we are able". You dont give money, or your goods or your time to others unless you have been blessed by the Lord with more than you need. If the Lord gives you more than you need, you need to share that excess with others in need. You are being tested by the Lord as to whether you deserve being blessed with plenty, if you are too greedy to share your excess with others, you fail the test. As to who your neighbor is, Jesus answered that with the parable of the Good Samaritan.

 

[Dana Covert82]

How do I treat an ex friend like my neighbor? That's gonna be hard.

 

[Brad Huber]

Trust in the Lord to give you direction. But when that direction comes and you know its from the Lord, you must follow that advice even if you dont want to.

 

[Dana Covert82]

Okay. I'm not going to rekindle the friendship. I did this once before and toward the end I regretted it. So, I'm just going to IF I see him again treat him with respect. That's all.

 

[Dana Covert82]

Well, guys, I found out that my ex friend is "taking a break from me" which means no more friendship. I found out from another friend of mine about this. He told me he told my ex friend that "you and Dana are no longer friends because you've grown apart." My ex friend didn't seem to say anything about that. So, it's OFFICIALLY over with. I'm done.

Now: how do I get him off my mind for good? I feel like I can't quit thinkng about him, and I want to for good. Help!!!!!
