12. Set Boundaries
Like with a breakup from a significant other, the set way for a friend breakup to stick is to give each other space. You are no longer each other’s “person” anymore, and need to adjust the relationship accordingly. Be respectful and give space when it's needed. Even if you end things on good terms, a simple “hi, how are you doing” and a quick hug when you run into each other or a happy birthday text once a year, should suffice.
