Q: I have a best friend whom I've known since the 7th grade, and one of the things we promised each other in our ring of friends is that "Friends come first always before boyfriends." However, I feel that this best friend of mine is not keeping this promise. Besides being close friends with me, she also had this really close guy-friend since the 7th grade, who has now become her boyfriend. I know that I should understand that its okay for her to be closer to him because they were close before, and are now in a relationship together, but I feel hurt that its against what we promised... Like, she would always, always stress it to to us that friends are always first, but this now seems hypocritical... We rarely talk on the phone anymore, or talk at all because she's always spending time with her boyfriend... What can I do to repair this friendship, or to understand???

Thank you very much. (16/f - Junior)
she probally doesnt realize it
talk to her about it
if that doesnt work
try and get your other friends to talk to her about it.
if she is happy, dont diss the boy.
Just say "hey we should hang out this weekend" if she has plans say "i really miss you, we never hang out anymore, and i was really hoping we could hang out soon"

as long as you arent a brat about it, everything should work out.

Good luck! :)

Thank you!
