Friend’s unhelpful advice sparked a rage that may have broken a 20‑year friendship
A longtime friend became too busy after starting a new job and now offers unsolicited advice; an angry reaction may have severed their 20-year bond.
DEAR ABBY: I have fallen out with my best friend of 20 years, and I’m not sure how to proceed.
A few years ago, she started a new job and became too busy for chats or to catch up. However, whenever we do manage to chat or catch up, she wades in with advice and suggestions about what I “need” to do to improve my situation.
