As time goes by, many friendships end because of a(n) ____ in personality or way of life. The friendship slowly loses importance and finally ____.

Tommy wrote, “I didn’t even know the friendship was over until I caught myself thinking of Alan as a former friend.”

Peter explained, “We ____ seeing each other less and less. The friendship was just over.”

Sometimes friendships ____ suddenly from a disagreement or move to another place.

Alice said, “The end of our friendship was a gradual thing. I moved from one side of the city to the other. Since then we ____ made a phone call. We met less and less. At last our friendship ended.”

Jack said, “When I moved to Seattle after college, our friendship died. Both of us were always ____ with new jobs, so we didn’t keep ____ touch with each other. Our friendship was so dead that I didn’t call him ____ I went home.”

Yet the biggest problem to a friendship is change. Lillian Rubin in her book Just Friends says, “Generally it’s ____ that friends will accept each other if they both remain what they were when they met, or change in similar directions.
