Hello, I would like to know if it's OK to use the word conclude instead of end in a phrase like this: " believe me, that's typically how most friendships conclude." I came across this while reading a random comment on Facebook saying that most friendships end when people do not settle their differences. I know that both words mean the same thing, but that was actually my first time seeing someone use conclude instead of end in a common phrase like "friendships end" this could be because I'm not a native speaker. However, I would still like to hear what the native speakers here have to say. Thanks in advance!

@Rox111,
My preference would be, That's how most friendships conclude (or end), but the other phrase works as well as the first. Sometime we need to reduce the number of letters when we send articles to newspapers.
