Letting an Ex Best Friend Back in Your Life

Have you suffered from broken friendships? These relatable ex-best friend quotes may break your heart but also help you to move on.

Best friends are families by choice. But these families don't necessarily stay in your life. You talked about everything and made plans for the future. You spent nights on the phone and laughing for no reason. Until the day you graduated and moved to different places. Then they called less, conversations cooled down, and you both had new best friends. That's when you realize you've parted ways, and the friendship is fading. Friendships end not necessarily because they are fake, sometimes it happens for no reason. That's why it hurts the most.

I had two best friends back in high school. We were so close that there was nothing to hide from each other. I went to college in another but had fewer chances to hang out with them. Then graduation followed, and they went to Canada and Korea for their Master's degrees while I stayed. The time difference further reduces our chances to talk. And as time went by, their names never popped up on my notifications anymore.

But then one of my ex-best friends got married, as I saw on Instagram. And the other one was her bridesmaid. I wasn't told about the news, nor did I get an invitation. That's was the time I realized what I thought was an unbreakable trio is actually two best friends plus me.

As much as the truth hurts, I scratched my head to find out what I've done wrong. I don't know if things would be different now if I have tried harder. What I do know is that I cared, I still do, but it doesn't matter now.

I am still working hard to learn my lessons and to let go of this broken friendship. It may take some time or forever. However, if you have been or are still in similar situations, you may find relief reading these ex-best friend quotes.
