Hello, I have been involved in a "friendship". He always asks me for favors. Please do this, please do that, and as I feel love for this friend I always acceed. And he makes me feel happy when he is pleased. But, I begin to think that he is NOT really a friend. Why? Because he never remembers my birthday. On his birthday he is always cheered by a lot of people. When I tell him my problems, he never gets really involved. He just says... go on! go on! Don´t let them trouble you. But NO more. And if I am pleanty of joy, he doesn´t cheers me on. For example, if I´m having money problems he never asks why, nor help, even he wouldn´t like to hear of them. If I`m planning and have succeed planning a travel to Portugal on May, he even never cheered me up. I help him on his work. He doesn´t pay me for. But he asks me each day to help him (in an ever cute, tender and friendly way). I´ve talked to him about my feelings, but he says I am always wrong. I haven´t talked to him, nor helped him, in the last 10 days. I almost guess he is wondering where am I. But he doesn´t write, nor phone. I´d rather loose this 8 year friendship. Don´t you think so?(At the beginning it wasn´t like this)

Real friends are harder to find than fake ones. real friends should support each other through anything good or bad. Real friends should not just be there so you can do for them. it has to work both ways.1 person likes this

Well it seems to me that he is more of a user friendly person rather than a real friend. 8 years is a long time. I understand if you feel warry about your real relationship with him. But you see, it's always about self preservation. You dont need people around you who bring or pull you down. You have to surround yourself with good people and good friends. His treatment of you is not fair. If you're not okay with the wayhe treats you, then you can ditch him. Go with people who will love ypu and be happy for you. Not people who will use you and take advantage of you.
