This week, we’re talking about the friendships that fade without warning, and what it really looks like when someone shows you they’re done, even if they never say it. We’re also into one of the messiest moral dilemmas we’ve ever stumbled across: she wasn’t technically cheating, but the full story is a lot. Whether you’ve been on the receiving end of a fading friendship, had to sit with a complicated relationship situation, or just need two friends to say the quiet part loud, this episode is that conversation.
