Hi again! Just read your fantastic fanfiction and "A Marital Education" (which was recommended to you a few days ago). These were my first Jane Austen fanfictions and now I'm hooked! Do you and your followers have anymore great recommendations? Thank you! :)

Hi hi! I’m not the author of A Marital Education, though it was recommended through this blog a while back. It’s definitely a lovely piece, though!

Followers, MOOOOORE RECS!

I had a best friend in high school that I really loved. We'd hang out a lot and people often asked if we were sisters/lesbian. Then one day she just didn't talk to me anymore. She didn't ignore me but she actively tried not to hang out with me AT ALL. I was crushed, cried a river in the entrance hall. Looking back at it now I realized that we hung out a lot and liked the same stuff, but we never really had a deep/emotional connection. That helped a bit :(

She also turned out to be really immature, cutting me out of group activities and letting me (not so) subtlety know. So, all in all, it got better and I have a friend now that I know I can count on :) — Concerning your original post: I think deep friendships are really similar to romantic relationships and there is no need to value one above the other. Isn’t a romantic relationship meant to last as well? If you expect it to end then maybe you haven’t found the right partner yet :)

I also had a similar friend in high school who tried to cut me out when she got new friends. It definitely hurt for a long time but I eventually made new friends and was able to get over the anger/betrayal that I felt. I agree that if you expect the friendship to end eventually that you are no longer as close anymore and and they are most likely not “the one” for you.

With my original post the biggest point I was trying to make is that in our society we sort of have a “procedure of grief” after a romantic relationship ends but not really when a friendship ends. For example we have break up movies, millions of magazine articles going over how to get over your romantic partner, and family members who are usually there for your support. No one expects or wants to end a romance with someone but in a way it’s more socially accepted than losing a best friend. Like when your best friend cuts you off where’s the ex best friend movies to watch?? where’s our tips from magazines on how to cope?? Also when my friendship ended I found that my family members almost blamed me for it ending instead of being supportive because of the “romance can come and go but best friends are forever” kind of logic. Its just not as talked about as romantic breakups and I think we should put more emphasis on how it can be just as damaging (if not more) than a romantic breakup.

Oh, no no! I know you didn't write AME, which is why I added that it was recommended to you! Sorry, I'm not a native speaker so I might have phrased it awkwardly .,.

Ah, no worries! Just a small misunderstanding, I just wanted to make sure credit went to the proper author and not to me. :)
