i have a best friend named kevin, and we`ve been friends for a long time. we helped eachother with problems, and we always had eachother`s backs. but he`s been acting really different lately, and i`m not liking it too much. ever since he got a new girlfriend, he`s been acting really weird around me. one day he`ll be really nice to be like he`s been, and then other days he`ll blow up in my face for the smallest things, and i don`t know what`s happening.
lately he`s been questioning our friendship, and the other day he messaged me saying "forget it, we`re not friends anymore". and now everytime i try to talk to him, he`ll smack rude comments in my face.
i know you might be thinking that i should just forget about him, but it`s harder than that. i know that deep down inside my best friend in still in there, but i just can`t find him yet .. so can anybody please help me figure all this out ?

MelLeDisko answered Sunday October 22 2006, 10:13 pm: This is a really complicated situation. I'm not totally sure why your best friend is all of the sudden acting this way. The only reason I could really think of, is that usually whenever there's a guy and a girl best friend, and one or the other is suddenly taken, that causes a bump in the road between the best friends because their boyfriend/girlfriend can get very jealous.
Maybe that's what he's trying to do is to end the friendship with you to show his girlfriend there's nothing to be jealous about. Sometimes, sadly, best friends tend to choose the person they're dating over their best friends, but like I said, that's just an option. I don't really know his girlfriend or anything to really be the judge of that.
The next time he's doing this to you, just confront him right then and there about it. Just be like,"I don't understand you lately. You've been really nice to me one second, and all yelling at me the next. What's going on with you? Is it something I'm doing or what, because lately I've really been missing my best friend." And just see how he responds, and try not to let it escalate. Just talk in a calm tone and try and resolve it peacefully so nobody winds up slamming the door behind them in a frustrated horrible mood where nobody'll ever talk to the other ever again.

Well I am not going to tell you to forget about him because I know a good best friend is hard to forget. I think you should talk to him. He's probably being brain washed by his girlfriend. You never know. Tell him you miss him (like the way he used to be) tell him u miss hanging out like him. But most importantly catch him in the act. Like when he screams at you for no reason tell him. Tell him that's messed up and ask hoim why all of a sudden he's changing. If he's a really good friend like you said he was then he'll understand!.
Hope I helped! And goodluck! [ blackluna7111's advice column | Ask blackluna7111 A Question ]
