Good.

How are you?

I'm Jen.

I'm 36.

And I'm wondering if I should give my ex-best friend another chance.

No, no.

Oh, God, really?

OK, so we were best friends from age four preschool through elementary school, middle school, high school and college, even though we went to two separate high schools and colleges through a little bit of early adulthood to post-college as well.

And, you know, we were like as close as best friends could be who have known each other for that long.

The entire time, though, she's been a little flaky, not a little flaky, a lot flaky, like hard to make plans with, won't commit to specific plans, you know, will say she's going to be somewhere and then bails last minute.

Correct.

So same behavior from when she was a child through when we were last close in early adulthood.

And I was never willing to cut her off prior to when I actually did because it was so much history in there that I couldn't imagine not having her in my life anymore.

And

You know, I was like, oh, she's my best friend.

Like, you know, this is how she is.

I can't just like cut her off.

But then like in early adulthood after college, you know, I started working.

I started like meeting new types of people.

And then I was like, I don't like really need someone like this in my life anymore.
