Breaking up with your BFF and the truth about female friendship

The shame and guilt can last a lifetime when a female friendship breaks down. We look at the wall of silence that can surround the end of a relationship with your BFF 

We talk about female friendships and fallouts in a way that we never do about men and their relationships.

There is a type of break-up that’s not discussed. It’s shrouded in shame and pain, and the grief is often experienced alone. The ending of a friendship is the taboo relationship breakdown that no one wants to talk about.

Female friendships, we’re often told, are for life, but when they fail or run out of steam, one or both parties can be left devastated.
