Sacrificing things is possibly essential to those who make a move in their Life. If I would refer to myself, I had friends who drifted away from me as they pursue on their Loved ones but I kept my door open in chances they may return and ask for help.

My breakups have rarely been equal, there was in inequity in expectations and emotions before the break up and afterwards. It's some times too hard to salvage something when the boundaries and expectations are so confused, and some times a person needs a lot of space to reform their heart and life and in the end they come out such a different person friendship isn't possible. Some times people are just so hung up on 'what they had' they can't see what they could have. Or a relationship was so hurtful they don't want anything to do with it any more. I think you can be great friends with an ex, but it's not always possible.

I don't think they do. At play in cases where this does happen are hurt feelings, of course. Humans are emotional creatures and when you hurt someone emotionally, even if it's the right thing to do, they can hold onto that hurt.

Probably because they do not feel comfortable talking to one another after everything you have experienced with them.

Breakups don't always ruin friendships. Sometimes, if you are good friends with them before dating them, when you break up, it is easier to remain friends. Granted, it may be awkward for a while, but it gets better. I am friends with the guys I broke up with, mostly because we were good friends beforehand. But in the case where you aren't good friends before dating, yes it can sometimes ruin your friendship with them. Mostly because by dating, you give a piece of your heart away and they get to know you on a more personal level, so remaining friends is hard at first and awkward.

I feel this is because relationships can change a person. For example, if you have a good friend that you always hang out with, he/she might start dating and won't be able to hang out as much...or much at all if they're really attached. This creates a gap between you and your friend, which may cause you two to drift apart and maybe lead to further conflict. For example, if my good friend was turning me down all the time and not being able to hang out I might react negatively..etc. In terms of breakups, if you used to be friends with someone before you dated them and there's a breakup, most times people can't move past what happened. The cause of the breakup could be a tragic event or maybe something(s) that caused a lot of conflict between the two, which may lead to the end of a friendship. I hope I answered your question :)

In my personal opinion, that happens because friends take sides instead of finding out everything. we tend to run to our friends and tell them what happened instead of giving it time and coping with what occured. We involve others and sides are taken and friendships and broken and torn apart because of it.
