Friendships and their survival is a complex issue. Sometimes we outgrow them. Sometimes the demands become or suddenly seem unhealthy. Good ones can go on and on through the years without daily or even regular demands. Some friendships seem to require a romantic commitment, and those cause problems, if not for the friends themselves, but for their other relationships.

To the OP: you and your friend are both moving on, evolving, maturing…let it happen, and both of you will thrive. Perhaps you will come back together more later, but regardless, you can remain friendly if not close friends. Good luck.
