I have this friend (we'll call her Rachel) that was my best friend for years, and another best friend that we used to hang out with all the time, and we were a trio. Now, Rachel is getting on my other friend's nerves a lot, and she is ignoring Rachel all the time. Rachel is getting to be a little annoying for me too, but I try to handle it because I don't want to get Rachel all angry at me. Rachel isn't really my best friend any more, but I don't want to hurt her feelings. Sometimes I find myself making up lies to get out of hanging with Rach, and it makes me feel terrible. What can I do?

Maybe you can tell her that she gets on your guys' nerves too. If she doesn't understand and whatever, why do you care, she isn't your best friend anymore. I think she will live if you tell her that you aren't as close as you used to be with her. GOod luck!
