I had something happen with a co-worker (“WTF happened with my co-worker?” in IMHO) which just boggled my mind. I have a co-worker who I thought was becoming a good friend (she was opening herself to me with a few problems, thanking me for being such a good, honest friend blah blah blah), who, out of the blue, gave me the silent treatment for about two months. Me? I’m an honest guy, always try to support people. I have no secret agendas (at this time in my life at 57 yrs old there’s no need for ambition), the guy I am at work is the guy I am the rest of the time. This just shocked the hell out of me. I’ve never experienced anything like this in my working life. All I can say at this point is, why would someone want to end a friendship? On the other hand my wife and I have pulled the plug on a couple of friendships. One good friend of mine, after leaving his wife, resurfaced as the most arrogant, condescending ass I’ve ever seen. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ever-lost-a-friend-or-been-the-lost-friend-over-something-seemingly-trivial-or-silly/763371)._
