On WBUR NPR Radio/Boston: Love Letters- How to Break Up With a Friend
BY AMORY SIVERTSON
Feb 10, 2012
So you’re in a relationship, and it’s turned sour. Or boring. Or just downright time-consuming. Whatever the reason may be, you’re ready to break it off.
But this isn’t your typical romance-gone-wrong – this is a friendship. It could be your best friend, or it could just be that person from the office who keeps wanting to get dinner with you.
A recent New York Times article, "It’s Not Me, It’s You", addresses this issue. When should we break-up with a friend? How should we do it? And is honesty always the best policy?
We’re taking your calls, Facebook comments and tweets.
Guests:
- Meredith Goldstein, Love Letters columnist at The Boston Globe
- Dr. Irene Levine, professor of psychiatry at the NYU School of Medicine, creator of The Friendship Blog, and author of "Best Friends Forever: Surviving A Break-Up With Your Best Friend"
