How to cut a "friend" out of my life.

Simo, on December 5, 2022 at 7:53 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 3

I met her 2 years ago.

She never did something wrong to me, but our energies don't match.

From the beginning she was very insistent to meet and spend time together.

Most of the time I could say no, but I had to say yes in many occasion. And now I feel trapped, because, well I am in her life. And she is bugging me.


Without going into details, I am a very selective person and my social battery is very limited.
That's why, I want to cut her out of my life.


At the moment, we see each other's one time per month (more or less) and few times per week we text.

She is very insistent to meet - and now that pandemic is quite over, I cannot play this card anymore (not that he worked before - because she was always insisting).

Another thing is, I am her customer, and I want to keep supporting her business - but not as a friend.

My goal is go back to a nice relationship customer-seller, and burn bridges with her - but without hurting her.

What can I do? I was thinking to starting replying later and later, until the relationship gets cold.

Do you have suggestions or motivation to give me?
Have you ever found yourself in this situation?
Let's talk in the comments, and thank you!

    It sounds like you just need to have a conversation with her about customer/client relationships and set that boundary. And anytime she wants to chat it needs to be business related. I think it will sting no matter what

    Set and maintain boundaries. Cut ties by no longer talking, spending time together, or any interaction at all.

    I agree with this. Block and delete that number and she is welcome to email ONLY for business purposes if there’s an issue with whatever you are consuming from her.
    Know that you may have to stop doing business with her, but if it’s that or your peace…I think you know which one you’ll choose.
