Hope i helped. -Dr.Drew [ Dr_Drew's advice column | Ask Dr_Drew A Question ]

now if you can honestly say you spend enough time with her then just explain to her how you feel you are being fair and are balancing your friendship and relationship just fine and that she should be okay with that...
however, alot of the times once a girl gets a bf she usually does tend to spend more time with him then her friends and even though she doesnt notice, her friends do...you may think you spend enough time with her when really, you might not be... managing time between your bf, school, and a best friend is going to be difficult but maybe designate a certain day or something thats meant for just you two...try to hang out with them equally and let her know that you still care about your friendship :) [ CaliforniaLover1111's advice column | Ask CaliforniaLover1111 A Question ]
