The narrator describes a troubling experience with a long-term best friend who initially encouraged her to pursue a romantic interest at a wedding. Despite this support, the friend later reacted negatively to the narrator's new relationship, displaying jealousy and offering no apology. Over time, the narrator felt the friendship became toxic, particularly after learning the friend was speaking poorly about her relationship. Ultimately, she chose to cut ties, leading to reduced stress and a sense of relief after the loss of their 19-year friendship.
My best friend of 19 years told me to go talk to a cute guy at a wedding. The guy and I hit it off and started a long-distance relationship. My best friend then gave me the silent treatment for no reason for three weeks.
After a year and a half of hanging out again, I found out that she was still talking shit about my relationship behind my back. That was the final straw for me.
