Holding a friend accountable for their terrible behavior is not an easy thing to do. Explaining their behavior away seems more palatable than confronting them for making bad choices that affect others.
But even the most forgiving people can only take so much before keeping the peace becomes a mantra of the past. There will come a time when ending the friendship is the only correct course of action.
The question is, do you have a spine strong enough to stand against a good friend after they do something undeniably wrong? Redditors shared their own messed-up experiences with former friends who had no qualms about blurring the lines between right and wrong.
Redditors candidly recalled what their ex-friends did that cemented their decision to cut ties with them. After nearly 9k comments, we should count ourselves lucky not to be friends with these people.
At the same time, it's disconcerting to know that some people can mask who they are so well only to reveal their rotten core once they've gained our trust. It's not easy to recognize the red flags when it makes you question how good a judge you are of someone else's character.
Consider yourself warned because some of these responses are not for the faint of heart. Here are some of the best of the worst stories shared in the discussion.
