Behavior That Shouldn’t Go On In Adult Friendships

Sometimes, you just need boundaries – not a breakup
In some cases, you don’t need to end a friendship, says Dumaz, but just create new boundaries. “Sometimes when we are growing out of friendships that are no longer serving us, it’s about identifying new boundaries. There are times, for example, when someone gets into a relationship, but their friends are single, and they do single things. They can say, ‘I can’t do these single things with these guys like I used to.’ You set the boundary, and stick to it. When we stick to our boundaries, other people learn to respect them.”
