Bugging friend


Question Posted Wednesday November 29 2006, 9:50 am

I have a friend that text messages me/calls me/ IM's me at least 2 to 3 times a week, I don't know if she is interested in me or what but it is making my girlfriend and I upset, she thinks somethings going on, and I feel like I'm being pestered... I like having her as a friend, like all my friends, but how do I tell her to cool off calling me and such so much without hurting her? She knows that her contact with me bothers my girlfriend and she still does anyway SO often... I feel like she is disrespecting me.

[ Answer this question ]

Additional info, added Wednesday November 29 2006, 11:49 am:
also wanted to add, that both my girlfriend and this friend are long distance... and that this friend is a player... and might be just playing me... or trying to.

My girlfriend and I also share 100% honesty, and if I email my friend this message, I will tell my girlfriend... this will more than likely upset her again, because I "contacted her"... but if I don't tell her I emailed her, and she DOES stop contacting me, then she'll wonder why, and end up asking anyway.

Wow... I talk to my guy friends 2-3 times a week AT LEAST, some every day!

A couple things need to happen, the way I see it.

1) You should have a talk with your friend... let her know that you can't spend quite so much time in contact with her, because it's a drain on your time. Don't use your girlfriend as an excuse, because she'll keep calling you, because your girlfriend getting ticked off isn't a valid excuse.

2) Your girlfriend needs an attitude adjustment. Jealousy is NOT cool. Even if this girl is a player, she's just your friend, and nothing is going to happen. If she trusts you, she should be able to let it go. My boyfriend knows I go out drinking and hanging out with my guy friends, and he's perfectly cool with it.

wiat, if they're both long distance, how does your girlfriend know about it?
lol, alright that doenst matter. Let your girlfriend at her, i'm sure she can take this other girl down :P
lol, anyway. I would explain to ur friend that you have a girl friend, and that she doesnt appreciate her being that... obsessed? Not in those words, but I"m sure you get the point. worst comes to worse block her number -_-;
It might also help if you try explaining to your girlfriend that theres nothing going on and that this girl is stalking you, put an emphasis on th efact that she bugs you and you dont want her doing what shes doing.

good luck buddy, I think you'll need it.
