I guess I just don't have that much in common with either of them anymore, and no longer have the same priorities.

I'd like to still be friends on some level, and we do have mutual friends, so I was hoping to avoid a major falling out. I've tried distancing myself and becoming less available, but they only call/text/etc. more often, which makes me more annoyed, which leads to me being even more distant, and repeat!

Has anyone been in this situation? Advice on the best way to handle this?

Reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld breaking up with Keith Hernandez.
