Question Posted Tuesday February 12 2008, 12:25 am
k so i have a boyfriend...but none of my friends like him, so im basically not allowed to hang out with him at school, because they will get all mad and just walk away and be mad at me the rest of the day. I dont wanna break up with him, because i really like him, but its getting annoying because whenever i get a bf, they cant seem to be happy for me. Im scared that this will drive me and my bf apart and soon end up in breaking up, and i REALLY dont want that to happen. School is basically the only time that we can hang out because i dont live close to him, and i have to busy a schedule to hang out with him after school.
Its really aggravating me, because its really hard having to choose between my friends and my bf, and my friends have also been mad at me for other things, and i dont want to ruin our relationship any further, but i also want to hang out with my bf...I dont really know what im asking here,but any advice you can give me here on how to survive with everyone being happy would be appreciated:)
Thanks so much<3
If they're telling you what to do and who to hang out with, well, shouldn't you be thinking about if they are REAL friends? Friends are supposed to support you, not judge you by who you hang out with.
You're right, this is pretty aggravating, but things will work out in the end. :)

Are the so-called friendships worth your time? They know you care about your boyfriend and that you only see him in school. They are making you choose and you should never be put into that position. They have no problem risking your relationship. This also isnt the only time they have treated you this way. If they walk away mad and you get that smile, that hug, that kiss that you can't get outside of school, isnt that worth it? They give you a hard time about other things as well. Life is full of people who can't be happy for you. Your group of friends should not be among them. It seems you can't please them no matter what you do. Its time to think about what would please you. I think you should take advantage of the time in school you have with your boyfriend and cherish that time. Try talking to your friends about the way they are treating you and the position they are putting you in or you can just give them the cold shoulder and see if they come to you. If they apologize or realize what they have been doing and are willing to change, then from there make a compromise: make time to spend with him and time for them. If they choose to continue to treat you the way they have been, it is clear these people will only continue to rain on your parade and bring you down. You'll need to find new friends. People who will accept you for you, be there and be happy for you. Until you find that connection with a group or select people, enjoy spending time with your boyfriend. I wish you the best. If you need anything else im here. [ for3v3r_his's advice column | Ask for3v3r_his A Question ]
