7 ways good friendships die and how to save them

2. You don’t tell her the truth.

Boys, shoes, denim on denim outfits… these are all things your best friend desperately needs your advice on. She trusts you to point her in the right direction because no one knows her better than you do. When you tell her it doesn’t matter or you act like you don’t care enough to tell her the truth, you’re doing more than just letting her go out with that weird guy from the gym; you’re letting her down.

Honesty is a big part of any relationship, including the one you have with your BFF. You always want her to know how much you care about her, which means you sometimes have to be honest even when it’s hard. When you’re open with each other, you know your friendship is built to last.
