• All the Ways Friendship Breakups Are Worse Than Romantic Ones

    Breaking up with your best girl is worse than chopping romantic breakfast, and that’s facts.

    Written By:

    Friendship breakups hurt like hell, especially when you didn’t see it coming. But breaking up with your best girl? That’s worse than chopping romantic breakfast, and here’s why.

    No one to share your hurt feelings with

    At least after a romantic breakup, you can cry to your bestie, and both of you can shit-talk your ex in one accord. But when you break up with your bestie, who do you cry or complain to?

    Or even stupid gist

    Some days, you’re too tired to make sense. All you want to do is share memes or rubbish one-liners only your bestie would relate with. Is it an ordinary friend or crush you want to do that one with?

    They know all your secrets

    If they’re petty, they can decide to start washing all your dirty linen in public. Even if they aren’t, imagine someone you aren’t on good terms with knowing weird stuff about you. Like how you think semo is elite. Eww.

    You’re too old to start looking for another bestie

    Is there even a talking stage for best-friendship? Do you just do trial and error to find someone else worthy of the “bestie” status? So many questions.


    Or you could attend HERtitude 2023, our festival for the girlies, party with other hot babes, and make new friends with our speed friendship sessions.

    You lose a personal photographer

    Everyone knows female friends are pros at catching all your great angles. If they’re no longer around to do it, who will? Your boyfriend? LMAO, please.

    No one to gas you up on social media

    Who’d rush to your IG and drop fire emojis under all your new pictures as if they didn’t help you choose the picture to post in the first place? It doesn’t matter that you have a boo. Boo’s comments don’t count.

    You have to break up with their parents too

    You mean I can’t go to Mummy Steph’s house to eat firewood jollof again? That’s even the most painful part.
