    Not ok, grudges just hurt yourself because they are not thinking of you while you stew in negativity. Trust me, my parents have a degree in that but I just enforce my boundaries and accept that that is their issue not mine. Live free! They can't ever take my Joy away now, thanks to Jesus and Celebrate Recovery from codependency. Sorry, preachy.

    Telling a friend that you don't have enough energy to continue conversing with them about a topic they keep repeating so need to go.

    Not ok, their chaos became a problem for you. Boundaries for codependency please! Like say, "I'll call you back on my lunch break as I need to be at work" or if real dire and you love them enough, then ask if they would like me to take a day off to help. Sorry, preachy again- celebrate recovery fanatic...

    I hope you all don't mind if I comment on this one. I had a really great friend named Iain, I met him the same night I met the wonderful Man I just married on New years Eve. Iain became a wonderful friend and a brother to me. Iain was the most giving and loving person you could ever know, he had a heart of gold however, Iain had this thing about him where he liked to argue his point and prove you wrong. We had this argument about Faith and God often because Iain claimed that he didn't really believe in God per se... but he believed in nature and beauty and the bigger things around us. I was always trying to explain to Iain that all of that is God! We all have our own beliefs and that's okay, it's okay to disagree, but pushing and pushing and pushing and trying to tell the other person that they're wrong is not the way to go! I love a good argument but with Iain sometimes this one would get old! We would get into some heated debates often! The reason I'm bringing this up now is because my dear sweet Iain died in his sleep only 50 years old right around Halloween this year and what I wouldn't give to have those irritating frustrating debates with my precious friend again 😭 Rest in peace my Dear Sweet Brother...wish you could've been here to give me away on our wedding day! I have no doubt in my heart that you now are with God and you know one hundred percent that he exists! πŸ’“

    Point of the story I just shared with you all is that it's okay to debate and disagree and sometimes argue and it does get frustrating but the main most important thing is to cherish that friendship no matter how much those friends irritate you!
    Blessings to you all my beautiful humans! πŸ€—πŸ’ž

    I'm sorry for skipping the last poster, next poster take their question okay? 😁

    Definitely OK so long as they aren't marathon naps (i.e. longer than 45 minutes or so...unless you're sick)

    WillRunForFood - not ok, emotional affair in my book

    I don't mind! πŸ˜€I agree but I just needed a break so not a forever cut off. I did reach back out eventually. It's just before my healing journey of Celebrate Recovery from codependency I noticed my old friends were narcissistic in that they only talked about themselves hours on end and not ask about others. Now I have new healthy friends that are reciprocate. My old friendships are getting healthier because I now practice healthy boundaries like requesting equal listening time or I'd appreciate reciprocated invites/calls.
