All Comments on 'How to Lose a Friend'

Very well said, though I'm sorry you had to learn the lesson the hard way, and even sorrier that you lost a special friend. I love that you were bold enough to write about it and share it here.

Best wishes :D

It's a shame that you lied to her. It sounds like you didn't give her enough credit. She sounds like she was a genuine person who would not care about age. Thank you for sharing. I feel sad that you both lost out on something that could have been pretty great.

It is okay! Although facts and truths are stubborn things, but they are often stranger than fiction! Unfortunately, like sun and moon truths cannot be hidden, the only difference who narrates the truth!!

Lie, the truth or a lie or is it to build one's self up or is it to gain something from another. I went down this road in Mar this year myself. My life have been one of service to the gov. for years. I have worked up 5 names and have paperwork and back grounds in place for all of the life I have lead, but some of it was a lie and yet real to me in my mind after having to move 6 times the lie started to feel more like the truth then the truth to me. The dr. told me it was because of three bad head injury's in less then 14 months. I got so I didn't know truth from the lie's I have on paper in a safe and could go and read and knew as my truth. After 6 months now the drs. have released me from the hospital and said I should be fine now. It could be a store so real if it wasn't so true. Lived it and lost the love of my life over it. Now i'm having to learn who I am and what I have done as myself for real and not just on paper. The facts are in their but the mess in my head trip. Sorry for dumping on you with all of this shit, but it came up your store and my life clashed. Johnny

I know trust is something hard to mend, but I believe everything is possible - if (both?) parties are willing!
