The mother of five explained that while she respected marriages, she did not feel safe knowing her personal thoughts were being relayed to someone she barely knew.

At that moment, she said, it became a turning point.

“That was when I stopped taking her calls,” she added, stressing that trust is non-negotiable in any friendship.

Ayra Starr’s mum also recounted another friendship that ended because of excessive interference from a friend’s husband.

According to her, the man often involved himself in matters that were strictly between the two women.

She described the situation as unsettling, noting that friendships should be a safe space, not a platform for constant outside opinions.

Over time, the repeated involvement made her withdraw emotionally until she eventually cut ties.

“I don’t like third parties in my personal relationships,” she implied, explaining that it slowly became unbearable.

In another revelation, she spoke about a friend who had been married for over two decades but constantly complained about her marriage.

She explained that being a constant emotional dumping ground left her drained and unhappy. Eventually, she realised she could no longer carry the unresolved pain of someone else’s marriage.

“It became mentally exhausting,” she said, noting that protecting her own emotional well-being became more important than maintaining the friendship.
