They are few and far between but sometimes they do happen. What are some of those tag teams, factions or manager / wrestler partnerships that end without the members feuding?
A perfect example is the Hart Foundation. They lost the tag belts at WM 7 and a couple weeks later Bret is doing singles squash matches without any explanation that I can recall. Anvil would completely change his look a couple months later and start working as a commentator.
Umaga / Armando. I think Armando was "injured" by Lashley and when he returned he was ECW GM and the partnership was just kind of over, at least that's what I remember.
Aces and Eights seemed to end without any storyline blow off (yes I remember the funeral) because this is the point where the wheels were starting to fall off of TNA financially and TNA started releasing a bunch of guys most importantly Gallows who it looked like they were grooming to be the break out star of the group.
Who are some others?

APA is the first one that popped in my head. I wouldn't count them, Heyman fired Faarooq (after making it sound like he was firing both), Bradshaw chose his own career over their partnership/friendship. A little later Faarooq walks away from him and Bradshaw is begging for them to still be friends

Tyler Breeze and Summer Rae in late 2015, "splitting up for the New Year" off screen.

I would love to see two guys split amicably, one turn heel and the other face but still never attack each other. Kind of like how Sting and Luger were always friends even when Lex was a heel towards the rest of the roster.

I wouldn't count them, Heyman fired Faarooq (after making it sound like he was firing both), Bradshaw chose his own career over their partnership/friendship. A little later Faarooq walks away from him and Bradshaw is begging for them to still be friends APA actually ended twice. The first time being when the 1st WWE draft split the team up between Raw (Bradshaw) and SD (Faarooq) in 2002. That one featured the two of them poignantly shutting down the APA office - which I think had kept appearing in the show as a place where everyone was celebrating one last time. The second one was later on in 2004 wen Faarooq was "fired" - and then actually fired the day after the taping which was a day before the show aired thanks to bad behavior at WM20 weekend - as a result of Bradshaw basically screwing him out of his job. The Dudleyz also split on the same show, amicably, after their "last match together."

Has Kofi Kingston ever broken up badly with a tag partner?

The Undertaker and Satan. Obviously, this is a joke post, but I wanted an excuse to post one of my favorite Undertaker quotes: "I may not dress like Satan anymore, but I'm still down with the Devil."

I feel like the ones that are dropped without explanation aren't examples. Kayfabe wise they're neutral.
I came in to post Rybaxel though.

Harlem Heat when Stevie Ray joined the nWo. I recall him and Booker T stumbled into each other during some battle royal, stared at each other for a second, then turned around and attacked other wrestlers. Sunny and Faarooq back in 1996 after he turned from a gladiator into a black panther. There was an article on it in some wrestling magazine (can't remember the name of it) where Sunny stressed that they were still very good friends.

It wasn't satisfying, but after Rollins turned on them, Reigns and Ambrose basically were both like - we're just gonna do our own thing now but we're still friends even though we won't really help each other as we take on the same faction.

The Riott Squad parted ways in the draft pretty amicably.

I haven't heard anything about a fall out between them but I know Punk can't keep friends for the life of him. I'm honestly shocked he's been married as long as he has. What happened between Punk and Kofi?
