You know how breakups are super tough? Like you have this deep, dark void in your heart, you don’t feel like getting out of bed, and not even all the ice-creams in the world can get you out of that wormhole of sadness. Multiply that by 10 and that’s how hard a best-friend breakup is.
Women online on Reddit have been discussing how best-friend breakups are much worse than regular, romantic breakups. It started when one woman asked for advice on how to get over a friendship breakup after she lost a friend of 20 years. She said it was “too painful” for her to endure.
Fellow women online who went through similar experiences revealed how best-friend breakups are the worst. It’s hard, hurtful, and takes years to get over. Here’s what some of them said:
