Stuck in the middle...


Question Posted Monday July 7 2008, 3:23 pm

Okay, my boyfriend and I have been going out for a few weeks now. I'm very happy and so far our realtionship has been practically perfect. The only problem isn't really a problem between us but between my friends and I, particularly my best friend. My best friend, I'll call her Lexi, isn't really as into guys as my other friends and I are. For a while we were both single and together constantly which is why we got to be best friends but now I have a bf and I think she's getting mad at me for wanting to be with him and talk to him a lot. I know that boys come and go but friends are forever but I love hanging out with my boyfriend becuase we don't see each other very often. What should I do?

hey you just need to balance the time you spend with your bf and the time you spend with your friends equally so neither of them feel left out.

tell her how you feel. talking about the problem between you both will help a lot.

besides if you dont spend much time with your bf then you should have time to spend with your friends and your friend should understand that you dont see him very much.

you both just need to talk to each other and both need to listen to how eacj other feels and youz should be right.

hope i helped. xxsal

Friends should always come first. However, sometimes you just need some alone time with your boyfriend so he doesn't feel neglected as well. I think you just have to sit down and think of how often you've hung out with one in comparison with the other.

If you hang out with her more, I think just talk to her about how she feels and let her know that you like to see him when you get the chance because you don't see him as often as her. Also, refrain from texting/calling him too much when you're with her - because that can make someone feel very pushed aside and it's also rude. Make time to talk to him on your own.

Also, maybe try inviting her to hang out with you when you're with your boyfriend? That way you can see both at once. Just try not to make her feel third wheel'd.

well you shouldn't take time away from your friend to see this boy. you should make time for your friend and make time for your Bf. don't let one of them hanging and feel like the other is more important. they both matter to you and you have to make time to be with them both. i think this will help your friend out alot because then she won't be mad at you because of your bf. And no one will get hurt or feel left out.

if you don't see your boy very often, then you should have plenty time to spend with your besty. relationships can really tear friendships apart. trust me, you don't want that to happen.
