  What is happening to the English language? WOW!

  All I can say is our society is becoming more and more like Idiocracy.

  Scary....

  LOL. Well... The woman who wanted to marry my not-yet-husband (while he only wanted to be friends with her) acted for awhile like she wanted to be my friend - just so she could keep an eye on me. I tried to be friends with her but she made it impossible. That is the closest thing to a Frenemy that I've ever had. LOL. Now we are civil to each other when we see each other but in no way is she a friend of either my husband or I.

  Why would I keep contact with someone who I half-dislike (or at least enough so to call them an enemy)? That, to me doesn't make any sense. I'd much rather keep friends, who I 90% like.. and enemies, who I 90% dislike. It's much easier that way.

  I had a best friend of 15 years turn from an awesome confidant to a frenemy, because she couldnt handle the rest of our group gorwing up and moving into bigger and better things. She wanted to continue to act, drink, and sleep around like a silly school girl while the rest of us are working hard, settling down and coming into our own womanhood. It was sad, because she had potential to be a life long friend, as she had been. She just became more and more irresponsible and unpredictable and we had had enough. If the "friend" isnt keeping itpushing with you, leave them behind where they belong!!!!!!

  I had a few frenemies... One that I've known since I was 10 and another that I just met. #1 is the typical 'talk about myself for an hour' person. She consistently stood me up for lunch and brunch and waits a few days or a week to apologize with a lame excuse. I've finally cut her off for good, we're adults and she hasn't realized what a horrible, phoney, self-centered friend she is.

  #2 is in her 20s and imposes upon the kindness of people until they just start to become raging with anger. She calls for early morning emergency rides to school when she missed the bus or forgot to buy a bus pass. Time to grow up and learn to rely on yourself.

  For both these ladies, the love is one-sided and frenemies don't last that long unless one of them has alot more patience and forgiveness.

  I'm all out of both and I'm happier w/o them. Like Martza said, there's no use pretending. Life is too short for that.

  Frenemies only hurt themselves. No need to get your panties in a bunch. They suffer in the end anyhow.

  Whoever believes looking down on someone makes them better is going about this thing called life all wrong.

  If you're being the best you, there is no need to compare. It's all about focus.
