Ending a friendship, how do I do it?

I know that I have started threads on this topic more than a few times last week. This has become a big problem since then. Recently, I have had disturbing episodes of conflict with a friend. We have not spoken in a week. Every time I see him in the area, he starts freaking out on me. I have told him not to speak too me again. It seems not to be working.

How does one end a friendship once & for all?

Sounds like the friendship has already ended. Your problem now is shaking someone whos a pain in the ass. Try to avoid them at all costs and if U have any more problems call the police. Don't let anyone haras you.

If you've not spoken in a week I think you've done the difficult bit.

Personally, I'd avoid the places you know he's going to be at.

If he is harrassing you I'd take the advice given in one of your previous threads on this subject and take out an injunction.

But really I think the ball's in your court. If you're ready to drop the friendship then you really need to start going different places or doing different things, not bringing yourself into contact with this person on a regular basis.

Good Luck

Yes, I agree, I have hoped that he would stop behaving this way before now. He is being childish about the whole thing.

well,
if i could type candidly, I really dont know how/or whats happening when hes freaking you out, but as a suggestion, if i dont want to continue a "relationship" of any kind...just always be busy, make it were you cant "go" er "do" anything with 'em...and if it gets to the point were they ask you WHY? well, explain...(but avoiding them usually works, sad but true!)

I'm curious: Did you ever find out what he gets so mad at you about?

Anyway, you've initiated the end with no contact in a week. If he calls, somes by, etc., simply tell him flatly hat you think it's a good idea if you guys just part ways. Be nice; you owe him nothing more.

If he keeps harrassing you, I agree, get a restraining order.

Why? Why keep contacting him? If you're really serious about it I think you need to stop having contact with him, not prolonging the friendship through letters and stuff. It seems like he doesn't want contact with you either, by what you've said in the past, so I think you just need to make a firm stand and not contact him anymore ... if that's what you want.

OK, let me be totally honest...

I've just got in from the pub, it's 23:48 where I am, so you really are going to get some straight up honesty.

GOOD ADVICE! Sometimes one "MUST" get the "POLICE" and "OTHER AUTHORITIES" involved. It is MY own experience that ppl who harass/stalk U R VERY "difficult" indeed 2 irradicate from making ones life as "MISERABLE" as "THEIR" own is. They just dont take "GET LOST" or "GET HELP" 4 an answer. Some think U R the "ONE" harassing "THEM". They R very hard 2 deal with, and do not listen 2 "reason" 4 the most part. They can make ur life "hell" if not dealt with by the authorities, as they have a weak "hold" on reality, & if they feel that their initial "harassments" arent getting 2 U enough, ( but, 4 now, this guy seems 2 KNOW he's STILL getting 2 U, so he's satisfied ) they will TRY "other" more disturbing things & maybe even hurt U with violent acts. ACT QUICKLY 2 STOP him NOW.

your friend needs professional care. PLEASE do all you can to help him - i'm afraid if you don't, you'll look back on this in a few years and regret not having done something to help him.
