2. Comprehension Check

2.1 Focusing on the main ideas

Why do friendships end? The author offers some insights into the question.

Friendships end because the situations friends are in change. These changes can’t help but affect a friendship. Next, the friends themselves may change. The breakups can be mutual or one-sided. It hurts less when both friends change. What tends to hurt most is when just one friend changes. A third reason is that as much as two people might want a friendship to survive, one or both of them might unintentionally neglect it. Lastly, conflicts can cause the end of a friendship, since most friendships have breaking points under pressure.

2.2 Digging into detail

1. Why do some friendships end, no matter how much you want them to last?

2. When you decide to relocate for a new school or job, this can’t help but affect a

friendship. Likewise, if a friend of yours is in an accident, develops an illness, or loses someone close, these situations can’t help but affect a friendship. These events can end friendships if the necessary adjustments are not made.

3. For example, when one or both friends start to date or get married, their

friendship may come to an end. It hurts less when both friends want to do so. It tends to hurt most when just one friend changes.

4. Friendship needs regular care. Taking a friendship for granted can cause it to

break.

5. A blow to a flower. If a flower gets repeatedly trampled on, it’ll eventually

break. So even those amazing close friendships need care when conflicts arise.
