My really only friend in the world met a guy a few months ago and now I can't even get her to reply to messages I send her on fb. I know she's in love and I'm happy for her but what about her friends? I know I'm not the only one of her friends who is complaining. If this is how she is happy then that's it...an end to her friendships. I wonder what would happen if they break up?

I think this usually happens, and i have experienced this with my bestfriend years back. I have not maintained a close relationship with her though... because after college we have gone separate ways. I guess if you are really close with her and you both have a good relationship you would understand her right now - i would assume that she and her boyfriend are just new into the relationship, right? give it time and when things cool down a bit she will come and update you about her as well. Just let her know, or drop a couple of hints that you are feeling a bit sad or angry that she is openly showing you that she is prioritizing her bf than you. Its not that you are asking for her whole attention or time, but if she promised to you, she can or might have to fulfill the promise, right?

yeah, you're right, i dont wanna ask for her whole attention, as bestfriend i really wanna see her happy, the problem is she didnt fulfill her promise, many times since she has new boyfriend, but if she felt like she was alone, when she broke up with another boyfriend, she would come to me, is it a little bit horrible thing? when youre happy you forget your friend, but when you sad you just come to them

My personal thought is that one of the most beautiful things about our best friends and any of the true friends that we are lucky enough to have in our lives is that we don't have to constantly be together in order for our relationship to work. I'm not saying that you are wrong for being upset with your best friend for the fact that she didn't keep her promises to you, but I am saying that you shouldn't downgrade her because of the fact that she is spending time with her boyfriend instead of spending time with you.

Sometimes love makes you forget about other people you care for a short time, give her time she may come around again providing she doesn't make new friends.

Yeah, sometimes friends tends to change and unfortunately forget their promise to their friends because their attention divert to their boyfriends. Boyfriends are more demanding than friends. Do not feel mad for your friend. Just understand her and talk with her in a nice and calm way. Divulge your sentiments if necessarily so she could realize her mistakes with not doing her promise with you. I think it can be fix through nice talking.

You can't get mad at them because thats how life is, things change, people change. Sometimes people just parade in our lives and we'll learn a thing or two from them and maybe when they start leaving. Their roles in our lives are over and we have to make room for better people in our lives,

On the one hand, she did promise you, and no one should say they will do something, and not do it. So next time she says "lets meet" say, no thanks. You lie to me before, and you don't show up. So no thanks. On the other hand, you need to give her more space. When two people are courting, it takes up all the time. This is normal. You need to give her more space.

My friend it is but natural for any girl or boy their lover or boyfriend in your case is more important then the best friend. Don't take it seriously be cool.

Maybe she should just be friend and not best friend. A best friend should not do that. I have noticed quite often that when people are single they are always ready to hangout, call or go out to places but when they get into a relationship it seems like they don't have a mind of their own any longer. Also, some people get really possessive, jealous and sometimes that could be a sign of a soon to be abusive relationship. They start keeping the person away from friends and doing things they enjoy so they can be the only person.

Sad to hear about your situation. I think you are in love with your best friendly. So only you don't have the ability to see her with her boy friend. As she have her boy friend. Better to forget her and continue as a friend.

Are you jealous because she has a BF and her attention is on her BF? or are you jealous because she has a BF and you don't have? No you have no right to be angry at her she has her priority and sad to say that you are just 3rd or 2nd to her priorities. sad but true. If you are her true friend, you can just be happy for her... that's what true friend is, doesn't expect compliments from a friend or doesn't expect equal attention from a friend.

i will talk to her heart to heart to tell about my feelings as her friend, because when she had a bf already, she forgot me as her friend. i think by means of talking to her she will understand my feelings more.

It is normal that you feel sad and your best friend seems forget you!Just because your best friend has falled in love with her boyfriend and you mind her too much.She won't forget you ,olny spent less time with you.You should support and understand her.Your best friend needs your tolerant and she is doing the most important thing is her life.If you have a boyfriend ,maybe you will also seems like forget your best friend too.That's normal.But you may tell her your feeling and she will notice that she had hurted you.Thoes only are my own advices.Good luck to you and your best friend!

Maybe she won't to hurt you so she promise to meet you many times. When she broken her promise,the reason should be she made choice base on you are her bestfriend,and you understand her very well and want her to be happy.

This has happened to most girlfriends once the other has found a boyfriend. They just want to be with the boyfriend and they forget about their girlfriends. If I were you I would call her on the phone to explain how you feel and ask her one more time if you guys can get together. If she doesn't make it again then just forget about her till she comes around looking for you. Good Luck!

"new boyfriend" means she just in love with somebody?? well, in some cases, yes, a person can forget anything else when she has a new boyfriend. may be your friend is very in love and now really enjoy the beginning of the relationship. I can understand your jealousy because you and your friend live in different place, but may be she needs time to enjoy her new relationship right now. don't be afraid, if she's really your best friend, soon, she will understand her mistakes and ask your sorry... something new is always look glowy welcome to mylot

It seems to me that ur bf has a life! Don't be alarmed friend. It's normal to feel that way. I am in a way in ur shoes. I have an ex and we were writing letters to each other so much it made my husband very insecure. So I slowly stopped writing him. And now I feel terrible. I've abandoned him when I said I wouldn't. I made it real clear to my hubby that my bf is in my life. In fact I told them both that exact same thing. It's true I'm busy with mother life and the wife duties. I barely have time for myself let alone writing my bf.... So to answer ur question, no don't forget her. When things go south(bad) be there for her

Well, probably because they are just a new couple she is still in that euphoric stage that she wants to be with him all the time. Give her a couple more time to enjoy him until she realizes that she's got a life outside that relationship. But until she's really snapped out of it, whenever she wants to meet up with you, tell her that you want to hang out at your place and she can come there to spend some time with you. That way, if ever she decided to ditch you, at least you didn't have to spend on fare or gas.

howdy! it is normal if your best friend chose her bf over you, it's not a new story anyway. you know some girls, i mean they love their bf more than anyone and anything else because they know friends won't leave them but their bf would. It's normal to get mad at her but don't be mad, go tell her what the problem is so you can both fix and give solutions to it. you're best friends so you have to understand and respect each other.

hi sayyidah, sometime people forget about something happened to their life with their old friends because they have a new friend, until you tell them that you are mad or feel bad because of them. you should let her know that you feel bad because of her action. a good friend should tell the truth and than forgive them. don't let your good friend become a stranger to you. talk to her face to face and than ask her why ? that is my opinion.
