Dear Abby: Should I end a longtime friendship over her political posts?

DEAR ABBY: I am a 38-year-old woman with no kids, a loving partner and puppy. I run a business my dad originally built. I’m at a high point in my life despite the tragedy of losing my mom. I realize my friendships are important going forward in life.

One woman I’ve known since childhood posts harsh, opinionated political things on her social media. I don’t agree with them. I don’t mind that she holds that political view as long as I don’t have to see it, but I’d prefer she left it out of our friendship.
