Hey, Arinze. I've always had this opinion. A major reason why friends grow apart is because the expectations had are no longer needed. Consider two classmates with distinct experiences and interests growing apart post-graduation. After school, there wasn't a need to maintain the friendship and nothing worth their time to talk about.

While this might raise a storm, I also believe romantic relationships are not unconditional.

I enjoy your thought process. This was well thought out. However, I would appreciate if you said a thing or two about how it is my responsibility to communicate my expectations in a friendship. I'd also like to know how it would work and look like exactly.

I'm sorry you didn't find anything interesting this week. Would you like something to think about?

Hey Arinze, nice read. You should listen to "Run Through Walls" by The Script. It captures your thoughts perfectly.

My an older family member always said people are attracted to you because of what they could gain from you and once you become irrelevant they’ll pivot. I told them aren’t we all. It’s vice versa. All friendships and relationships are conditional and like you said “even if the conditions are unspoken “.
