Scenario

When longtime friends outgrow cherished traditions but can't say it

My best friend and I have been doing this annual camping trip for eight years and this year when we started planning it, I realized I've been dreading it — not because I don't love her, but because somewhere along the way it became this obligation we're both performing instead of something we actually want to do. I can tell she feels it too but neither of us wants to be the one to say it might be time to let this tradition go.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The weight of preserving what once nourished a relationship now threatens the very connection it was meant to sustain.
