DrummeR4LifE answered Friday January 14 2005, 4:39 pm: You can either just tell her to cool down on the bf chat or bring up something like going to the mall or getting a manicure... maybe things that you all used to talk about before she got her bf...

hitler_the_goat answered Friday January 14 2005, 4:01 pm: talk about how your boyfriend(if you don't have one, make one up) is so much better in the sack and how he obeys your every command, she'll get sick of it and stop talking about hers, and you can talk about your regular retarded and insignificant stuff.

curbsideprophet answered Friday January 14 2005, 3:33 pm: it's really hard to tell a friend about their faults, because 9times out of 10 they take it personally and freak out. just let her know by body language. like when she talks about her boyfriend just sort of roll your eyes or change the subject as soon as she stops talking. she'll get the point. and if not-- THEN you lay it out cold about how life is full of so many things, so must she concentrate on one all of the time? .:.curbsideprophet.:.

BeautifulMadness answered Friday January 14 2005, 3:08 pm: Hi,
My friend is Caroline exactly the same, only she is forever talking about her ex!!
When you say 'my friends and I', I assume you have all discussed how annoying Kendra is getting? Keeping secrets - especially ones that are kind of against one member of a friendship - are never a good idea and can cause huge rifts. Maybe she doesn't know she's doing it?
I think you should just come out and say, 'hey, Kendra, your boyfriend sounds really great and all, and we do like hearing about how happy you are, but not all the time, OK?'.
You know, I think that's rather good advice and I may just go and try it out on my friend!! :P
Karen answered Friday January 14 2005, 2:38 pm: Just tell her that she needs to stop talking about her boyfriend. Tell her that she is annoying. When ever you are talking with Kendra and your friends and she is about to talk about her boyfriend, change the subject. Or you could ignore her for a bit and if she asks why you aren't talking to her that much, tell her everything. Hope I helped :)

Diona_Marie answered Friday January 14 2005, 2:10 pm: Just all of you have to get together and write an email to her and type from all of you, make sure to tell her that you are happy for her and her b.f but sometimes she has to listen to you too, tell her you feel like you are losing a friend because all she does is talk about him and doesnt really seem to have much of a caring for your life anymore. I hope i helped...send me an inbox or i.m me at "xOx Babii Dee xO" to let me know how everything goes -Diona* [ Diona_Marie's advice column | Ask Diona_Marie A Question ]
Sherry answered Friday January 14 2005, 2:04 pm: What you could do is try to change the subject. And try to talk about something that wont have Kendra talking about him. or talk to her and just tell her straight out that its annoying when she talks about her bf..and that she needs to talk about other stuff too...not just her bf..hope I helped a little..good luck [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
