~I Don't Want Or Need A Part Time Friend~

Your either there for me and I am there for you...or your not. You either always want my friendship or you don't ever want it. It's either there or it's not. I don't want a part time friend. Another words, I don't want to exist in your life only when it's convenient for you. Do you have someone in your life that does that to you? I do and I'm no longer contacting the person anymore at all, not putting my time and energy into someone who doesn't cherish our relationship... It is in God's hands now.

I have had a lot of friends like that over the years. They are only your friend when they need or want something and they never return the favor when you need or want something.

@Jstory07 Yes exactly and it's not right at all. I don't like how some people are, I really don't

@LovingMyBabies It's just sad when we find out that we were needed only when it's convenient for them.

@toniganzon It is devastating to me to feel unimportant and used the way she's made me feel.

@Toniganzon Yeah I have cried over this part time friend more than I can count because for a while she was like a sister to me. =(

If you are HER friend, you must tell her what you've told us although I believe you have probably done so. Some people do not understand the rules and need to know and understand what we expect of them.

@LovingMyBabies That's a shame . I don't have those problems because I have no close friends.

@Mstickle You guessed right! I did tell her, she apologized and told me things would be different when she got back from vacation and she's still doing the same thing.

It is tough to find good friends. I have had a few, had to through one back. LOL My BFF I have known for fifty years. She is a dear. Wish she lived here instead of in Oklahoma. But, she is with her family there.

@LovingMyBabies ...I had one(have written about her on here) let me down too. I know how it is.

@celticeagle It is really hard to find them. The sad thing is I thought she was one and had to learn the hard way that she wasn't. I'm sorry your friend lives far from you-that stinks. =(

Loved it. Yes, that is how things should be. Though I am fickle minded and at times get swayed by the kind of help that he/she needs from me (I mean the severity of it). But in normal cases, I dont return back to anyone who I sense is trying to use me. *on another context, I do hope that this is not the same person who was avoiding you (as you mentioned on one of your posts some days back).

@thesids Thank you! This "part time friend" goes to my church. She was always hanging around when she needed advice about her marriage issues. Now that their mending things I don't exist anymore. I don't have time for that in my life these days...I have enough going on.

I'm pretty much a loner @LovingMyBabies . I've learned all too well not to count on anybody.

@ridingbet I wanted both from her. I don't mind if she needed me but I also wanted her time when she wasn't in need of anything from me.

You are wise to do that. Those type of people will only suck the life out of you. Wish I would have learned that lesson sooner, but better late than never. Have a blessed day

I have been contacted by friends that I have not seen or talked to in years. Why now? Because they need my help.

I would definitely agree with you that u did the right thing. If people are not there for you always, there is no point continuing. U give ur best efforts and expect the same from the other one as well.. You deserve better

@Sweetsona Thank you. I do agree, there isn't much point. I have told her how I am feeling and she promised things would change but their not.
