Waste several years of my life trying to remain friends with someone who developed a toxic personality.
We were friends for years and the last 5 years or so she became excessively self involved, self important, and a know it all. I grew to hate our "weekly" hour long phone calls that she insisted upon, and when I tried to limit them to less than an hour or less than once a week she became hostile and defensive, tryng to guilt trip me, accusing me of not being a good friend, etc. I just couldn't take it anymore and just quit taking her calls altogether, effectively "burning the bridge".
I won't let myself be roped into a relationship like that again.
