Being friends with anyone for 30 years is no easy task - people change, they drift apart, they move on.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is in the thirties that we want friends. In the forties we know they won't save us any more than love did.
It's no good trying to keep up old friendships. It's painful for both sides. The fact is, one grows out of people, and the only thing is to face it.
It's not too late to develop new friendships or reconnect with people.
Friendships that have stood the test of time and change are surely best.

I was interested about how relationships change as you get older. You are great friends in your 20s. In your 30s, you get married. Your 40s are all about your kids. In your 50s, you get divorced, and your friendships become primary again.
Friendships are fragile things, and require as much handling as any other fragile and precious thing.
The break-up of a relationship is always difficult, especially a 30-year one.
The mere process of growing old together will make the slightest acquaintance seem a bosom friend.
