When long-term friend groups avoid confronting problematic behavior

Our friend group has been together since college and one person in it has become increasingly difficult to be around - they dominate conversations, dismiss other people's problems, and several of us have started planning things without including them. We've never confronted anyone in our group before and it feels like we're all just hoping someone else will handle it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group is fracturing around an unspoken agreement to not address what everyone can see.
