[Serious] Have you ever cut a close friend out of your life, or had yourself cut out of their life? Why and what happened afterwards?

Sadly yes... I had a friend of 20 plus years cut me out of her life. We had been friends since the 4th grade all through school and after when she travelled the country with her military husband who was a friend also. She was maid of honor at my wedding. We are god parents to each others children and always kept in touch. After her husband got our of the service they moved back to our hometown where I still lived with my family. I was so excited to finally have my friend my home. In the first year everything was great bbqs, birthday parties, family stuff together... then she started a little side business to earn some extra money hosting slumber parties which is sex toys and over priced vagina creams for bored housewives. Well through that she meet some interesting people. She and her husband quickly became involved in the swingers scene. Which I had no problem with she and her husband seemed very happy good for them. Well they decided they wanted to try a threesome but they both wanted someone they could trust and were attracted to and luck have it they choose me. She approached me and asked what I thought of the idea. Now my friend and I have had our fair share of drunken boob and ass grabs and a kiss or two so I would be lying if I said I hadn't thought about it. So we talked about it and she and her husband pursued pretty hard sending dirty pictures of her great boobs and ass and listing the things they wanted to do to me and with me. But in the end I declined. I told them as flattered as was they wanted me that I didn't want to ruin such a good friendship and that I am a married woman and couldn't do that to my husband. They both said they understand and at first everything seemed fine a little awkward but nothing I thought we couldn't eventually all put behind us. Then phone calls got ignored and returned less and less and plans got broken or they were all of a sudden to busy. It's been over a year since we have talked. I've tried to reach out but it goes unanswered. I miss my friend.
