Do I end a 15 yr friendship?

   
My close friend moved away 3 yrs ago and we have stayed in touch. She came up for a wedding and I had her stay with me for the weekend. It's been a month since she's been gone and I just noticed that a sweater is gone that was in my dresser drawer in the room she was staying in. I don't have proof, but I don't have any other explanation where it is.

Answers:

1. Call and ask her if she packed it by mistake. That's probably what happened but you will never know until you ask. Oh and ask yourself if a sweater is worth ending a friendship over.

2. Over a sweater? That you aren't even sure whether or not she took it? Seems to me if the friendship meant that much to you, you wouldn't even be asking this silly question.

3. Do you think it was possible that she got cold at night at put it on, and then accidently added it into her clothing when packing up? I would ask her about it, phrasing it as if it weren't a big deal. Has anyone else been in there that could have taken it? If not, I would be concerned as well.

4. Don't end the friendship...Ask to stay over and check around a bit when she's not around (if she's not around). But she may not be a crook...

5. Just ask her straight out and make sure you don't accuse her. Just ask her if by MISTAKE she had brought it with her.

6. Let it go. You don't even know where it went for sure. Just forget about it and keep your friend.

7. Since you have no proof it would be silly to end a 15 year friendship over something as simple as a missing sweater. It may not even be her fault so I suggest not confronting her about it because it will just make both of you upset. Just let it slide this time and if you notice she supposedly takes something else then confront/talk to her about it.

8. since it's only that sweater missing, maybe she thought it was one of hers so she packed it accidentally. but if you notice other things missing, then you definetely wanna talk to her about it before you do anything that you regret!

9. um..don't end it, not something that good, over a sweater? no way!! STAY FRIENDSSSSS!!! Best wishes.

10. You need to just ask her if she took it by chance before you end a 15 year relationship over a freakin sweater!! are you serious? be a little more mature about this. 15 years is a long time to end a relationship over a lost sweater!

11. ok not to sound mean..but you are crazy if you end a 15 year friendship over a POSSIBLE theft. For all you kno a family member took it/borrowed it or it was missplaced. I would call her,, be straight saying dont get mad but i need the tuth and then ask.Or just let it go

12. dont end it because of that friends that you have kept for 15 years most be something speacil, and friends dont like come around like that a lot.

13. wow that was quick to judge.. the first answer is right, if it was her who took it it was probably by mistake...

14. I believe sometimes you have to end a friendship. First, I would straight up ask her if she "accidently" took your sweater home. You can confront her or just let the friendship fade away. However, really weigh the value of your friendship. Are you breaking up over a sweater or is this a relationship without equal give and take? You both have to bring something into the relationship in order for it to be successful.

15. That's ridiculous. IF you all are such good friends just ask! Your dog might have ate it? Or maybe your husband damaged it and doesn't know how to tell you just ask, i'm sure it'll pop up some where. If it does it tempt her again and see if it's gone. But we humans allow good friends to be dismissed over what? a sweater? 50 bucks or 15 years? which is more sensible to you?

16. No. don't end a 15 yr friendship over a sweater. why don't you ask her. she might have taken it by accident with her own stuff or you could have misplaced the sweater. A 15 year friendship is really long and you don't usually meet friends like that. over a sweater is not something to end a 15 year friendship over.

17. You could ask her if she accidentally picked it up with her stuff when she packed to go home. That way you don't sound like you're accusing her. I have found that some of my clothes get pushed back so far that they fall out behind the drawer. I had to pull the drawer out completely, and I found my sweater. That could have happened to you. Are you sure you had it in your dresser drawer? Were there any other people there at your house while she was there and possibly have taken it instead? If it is your friend who took it, that is real shady of her and you don't need people like that in your life. 15 years is a lot to dismiss, but if a friend is going to do that to you, then it's not worth trying to fix because if it were me, I could never trust her again. Hope you find your sweater.

18. Yes, please end the friendship immediately, for the sake of your friend. I'd hate to think of her being accused by the likes of you, of theft. You are obviously a real idiot, you are not a quality individual, and you are definitely not someone I'd care to be friends with. Misplacing a sweater, then accusing your friend of theft because she stayed in the room where you last saw it? Unbelievable. I ought to kick your a.s.s.

19. i have just ended a 8 yr friendship with who i thought was my best friend. it was sad but for me at right now it was the best thing for me to do. i thnk u have to really weigh up all the pro and cons of ur relationship and if the cons weigh up bigger then the pros then u really have to evluate ur friendship. i thnk that if sumone is a true friend they would not steal from u. have a long hard thnk about ur friendship b4 doing anything big and drastic.

20. hey never end your relation until you have the proof of it.a sweater not important then your friendship with her right.may be she took your sweater by mistake.you don't know where it is.maybe you kept it somewhere and you forgot.if you will end your friendship that will hurt you and her both.first try to find if you don't find then ask her if she had taken by mistake.ending a friendship is not a good for such a small thing.ok

21. First off, 15 years ia a long time! You should be absolutely sure before you accuse your friend, that indeed it is not just stored somewhere else--I imagine it would be very hurtful to your friend (and the friendship) if you accuse her of stealing... only to find out YOU had misplaced it or stored it somewhere else! Otherwise, there are a couple of possibilities... 1. Is it possible she felt you wouldn't mind if she borrowed it because you have known each other so long?? ( I know it is rude not to ask to borrow before you do... but) 2. Is it possible she could have mistaken it for one of her items--while she was packing she just emptied the drawer not realising your items were there too? Before you confront or ask about it ...eliminate all possibilities that she flat out stole it. Maybe you could question her (not accuse)by asking, "did you happen to see my blue sweater when you were here last month, I can't seem to find it?" My last input on this, not knowing a whole lot about the situation is...what does your gut tell you? Do you really think she stole it? Measure all the facts before you decide to cut her off.. . Good luck! (I hope you find the sweater stashed in a winter bag and you remain close friends for years to come:ideal outcome) :)

22. I wouldn't end the friendship. There are too many different ways that this could be something other than what you think it is. Maybe try telling her this: I think I'm going nuts here! I'm looking for a sweater and I can't find it. The last place I remember putting it was in the room you stayed in when you visited last month, but I'm not sure. Did you happen to see a sweater that looks like ... while you were here? Maybe she saw it, maybe she didn't. Maybe it wasn't where you think it was. Maybe she accidentally packed it, thinking it was hers (she could have one that looks very similar.) There are lots of possibilities and I wouldn't immediately jump to the conclusion that she stole it from you.

23. Ask her if she mistakenly packed your sweater with her stuff. Then say something like it's your favorite and your upset about losing it.
