I'm going to break ties with a friend who broke a promise
Really now? Is there any other reason why you have to cut them off?
I talked to him on the phone for a long time. He kept giving excuses and then stopped talking to me.
I understand, but it's nice to help friend's when they are going through something. You should try to power through it and help him.
You're the one to talk, have you ever been through something like this?
I'm not sure, but I think it's better to give your friend one last chance before breaking them off for good. You can't be too sure about what they are going through, and if you communicate you might fully understand why they had a hard time.
