Has this ever happened to you? You run into a friend you haven't spoken to in a while. You look at each other for a moment, wondering whether you should talk or not, cast awkward glances, and eventually go about your business. It's funny how two friends who were once inseparable can become complete strangers, isn't it? Often when you see people who were once very close and have later moved on to part ways, you think what could've gone so terribly wrong between them that they can't even stand each other now? Can a friendship that starts with a 'no sorry, no thank you' rule and reaches the 'friends forever' stage end on such a bitter note? The reasons for a broken friendship might be many, but most often when people look back at their broken friendships, they regret them.
