true friend?!


Question Posted Saturday September 17 2005, 10:08 pm

my best friend and i have been friends for four years now. she started dating this one guy, and they have been dating for over 5 months. at first, i was fine with it because she never really had a boyfriend who treated her so well, but lately she has been choosing him over me, a lot. but not only that, i'll ask if she wants to hang out, and she'll invite him to places with us without even asking me. and then they'll do there little couplely thing and im standing there like a retard. i get sick of being the 3rd wheel sometimes. i always picked her over my boyfriends, and i dont expect her to never spend time with her boyfriend but i do think it is okay to leave some time for a friend?! personally, i think she needs to choose: boyfriend or best friend.

u shouldnt make your friend choose between you or her boyfriend its kinda bitchy and maybe you and your boyfriends wernt as close as she is w/ hers. Either way ur friend is gonna be torn if you make her choose if she diches her boyfriend to go w/ you hell be mad she ditches you 2 go w/ him youll get mad you should try to put urself in her shoes ya now you would say you would choose her but wait until you get in2 a serious realationship it will be way different. but i wouldnt let your friendship go down the drain just cuz she wont choose between you or her boyfriend talk to her work it out one day she can hang out w/ you another she can hang out w/ her boyfriend this is really long but 2 bad

Tell her you have been left out that you have not been included in some activities that you wish to be in. One problem about saying friend or boyfriend is that if you have no other friends like her then you will be losing a true and faithful friend. Just figure some things out that you and her can do together with out her boyfriend.hope i helped

You're right to complain about her not spending time with you. But if you got a boyfriend, would you do the same thing? She needs to include you in some of the things they do but not everything. Ask her to include you in some of the things like going to the movies, doing homework, ect. Remember they need some alone time once in awhile too. Good luck! Hope I helped!

well.... maybe since she has never had a boyfriend that treated her like that... she gets caught up in the moment. its def. wrong that she chooses him over her but next time you call her to ask her to hang out tell her u want it to be just the two of you. make it clear that you dont want to hang out with him at the moment! hope i helped!

Try talking to your friend. Tell her how you feel and ask her not to invite her boyfriend along without asking you first. You can't expect even your best friend to just know when something they do is bothering you (even though that'd be nice!).

And one thing you never ever want to do is make your best friend choose. It's hard being neglected by your best friend and it's okay to be angry, but trying to make her choose will just make the situation even worse.

I would have to say that if she is always treating you like third place then she is not a true friend,it is not right that she is always making out with her guy a lot in front of you.
Seriously she isn't worth it as a friend,you chose her over your guy,look how she repays you now how messed up so you might as well find another friend who will respect you, and someone who is a real friend. She should apologize, if she doesn't then like I said before don't be friends with her anymore also if you decide to do that just remember that she is the one who broke the friendship up not you.

wow. i cant agree more that she needs to spend more time with you. i feel exactly the same way about my friend except they have been going out not as long. just let her know. have her over to spend the nite. he definately can't come then. and maybe if you can, tell her that you'd like to have some more one on one time. hope i helped.
