Question Posted Wednesday January 3 2007, 11:39 am
My best guy friend has this friend that's a girl that I highly dislike. They weren't friends from August til now. I think they're starting to be friends again, which really sucks for me. The reason he stopped being her friend in August was because she would keep bringing him places far away, like theme parks, etc. Then she'd leave without him knowing. I always went and got him, even when it was about 2 hours away. Why he wants to be her friend again I do not know. :/ How can I deal with this? For some reason it bothers me very much, to the point where I cry every night, hyperventilate and what not. I have told him, so what else can I do? Thank you.

1) You are a highly possesive person who doesn't like to share your good friends with others
2) You could have fallen for him
It is very difficult to differentiate between 1) or 2) and I can't tell you if you're 1 or 2.
First of all, accept this reality: It is very difficult to make people do wat we want.
Actually I was thinking, why are you so upset with the girl? Cos you didnt say much bout her except bout the theme park thing and quite frankly speaking, it isn't such a big deal. I don't know, perhaps there are other major things for you to get upset with.
Since you've talked to him bout it already, you should just leave him be. As you've said before, he did stop being her friend for a period of time. That means he must've doubted their friendship. I guess he went back to being her friend probably cos he wanted to give her a second chance. People can get soft-hearted at times.
If she's really such a bad person, then eventually he'll come to realise tt. Everyone will. It's just a matter of time. If you've done all you could (such as bitching bout her and telling him how vehemently you reacted) to prevent him from being her friend and yet he still continues to hang out with her, then it really means that you should give him a break. Just let him realise what a horrible friend she is by himself. Sometimes people need to be slapped in their face before they know what pain is. Also, maybe you should give the girl a chance? Maybe she isn't such a bad person?
She might have been inconsiderate for doing that theme park thing to your best friend but maybe she has her reasons for doing so? Like she probably couldnt find him and got strayed from him while playing in the theme park?
Don't get yourself so stressed up over this situation. You are only making yourself miserable. Him making one more friend doesn't make him less of a best friend to you. Sometimes, we gotta let go and not be so possessive. There's really no harm done to you and his friendship when he hangs out with her right? Everyone has the right to do what they feel is correct. So let him be, don't get so agitated. Since he's your guy best friend, then I'm sure you two share the same beliefs in what constitutes a good friendship. So let him be. Once he realises that the girl's not a good friend, he'll leave her sooner or later. [ clarayow's advice column | Ask clarayow A Question ]
