wtaf happened in here?
come on now, worse things have happened in life.
probably all sorts of matters accumulated over the years between these two ....and now there is a shift.
even friendships can be toxic, not only soulmate connections lol.
jfc.
Then ESPECIALLY if worse things have happened over the years, something mundane as a gift should be a non issue. Emphasis here is definitely about the gift and not the depth of the friendship.
maybe it was not clear enough; there are worse things to happen in life than a friendship breaking.
i think the issue with the gift is a catalyst for many underlying dynamics.
if it´s toxic - friendship or not - it´s better to part ways and take some time to re-evaluate what one seeks in a friendship.

That's true. I would probably cut it out if the friendship was not that long though. But if it was 16 years I would rethink my behavior and see where I went wrong and how I can compensate for not caring about a gift and keep the friendship. OP is doing a mental cleanse anyway.
