What I can't get over is having friendships for over forty years and when sudden fallout occurs there's no going back. It's happened 3 times over the course of 5 years. Today at 65 I'm cautious using the word friend. Acquaintance seems a better description.
That's so unfortunate. Apparently, some people's definition of 'friend' is quite different than our own. Friends are supposed to be there for the fallout and support us in our time of need (and vice versa.)
