I had a lot of "friends" in high school, but after so many situations where people showed their true colors at critical moments, I was sick of being surprised. I lost track with a lot of my friends when I graduated, I started working full time and going to school and not much else. I met a girl that I really clicked with in one of my classes at school and soon I was just going around her and her people whenever I felt like letting off some steam. After a few years, we had become real close. That's about when my current boyfriend and I had decided we wanted to be together after being friends for a few years also. I stopped hanging with my friend so much, and spent a lot more time with my man. She acted like everything was all good and pushed me in his direction every time it was a toss up between the two of them. "True LOve" she said we had. I had told her about him before we were together, I told her he was the man of my dreams. I just thought she was real happy for us.... I moved into his house 8 months ago, and about three months after that, she had called me saying she was right down the street from us, and with her friend. Their car had broke down, and she wanted to know if we could come get them and maybe my boyfriend could look at the car. (He's good with that kind of thing). I go pick them up, bring them back to the house, and then when my man is ready to go, we all go ride to the car. When we're at the house, my friend's girl gets a call and she says somebody else is gonna meet them at her car and he'll take a look at it, so my man doesn't have to. Ok, cool, I say, and don't think twice about it. We get over there, (my man is driving) and when we pull up, I tell them, see u later, and expect them to get out. My girl's friend gets out right away and walks over to her friend. For some reason, my girl is still in the backseat. I ask her, whats wrong, and she says she doesn't know if her friend's guy is gonna want to take her home, too. I look up, and of all people, its my ex-boyfriend. The person they called is my ex-boyfriend. I was pissed. My boyfriend didn't know, so I just figured, get her butt out of this car and we can pull off, I'll tell him after we're gone. Well, she's taking forever, and my man calls out to the snake, does he think its the radiator? I look up, and the guy is ignoring my boyfriend. Baby, don't talk to him, I tell him. well of course he wants to know why. I really didn't feel like getting into it right here in this parking lot, so I'm just trying to get her the hell out of the car ASAP. He keeps asking me questions, so I tell him, Its my ex over there. He's pissed because "I should have told him right away" I'm pissed, because I think my friend should have warned me. She claims she didn't know that's who was going to come pick them up. Her friend knows that's my ex-boyfriend, I'm sure, so I know she's a snake, but what about my friend? Do you think she really didn't know? Why wouldn't she have asked her friend who was coming to get them ya know? Tell me what you think!

I finf the older Ive become the more of my friends drift away to new lifestyles, different countries etc.. I dont seem to be making new friends at the rate I used to either. I do have one friend who has been there since I was in school and who lives near by but I think time , and life seperates most friends.

I dont have many, as im a bit of a loner But I can say the few that I have? They'd lay their lives for me, and so would I, for them

I think your friend should have warned you, especially since your boyfriend was with you. She had to have some idea who was coming to pick them up. Good friends are hard to find. I have about 4 really good friends, ones that I know will be there for me no matter what. I think you have every right to be angry.

Thats a whole lot to read. Freinds ? who needs them. I dont have any "freinds" nor do i have "family" that support me, and help me through life. Im going on my own willpower and walking along a lonely road. Ive had that many "freinds" betray me, anger me and just annoy me that i decided i wont try to make anymore, since they always backstab me. Nowadays i have 2 internet freinds, and clan mates from a online gaming guild. Thats it. Freinds ? Who needs em....=[

Personally I have several friends and it's really nice. However, a few real close friends is always better than a lot of acquintances...

I also have seen many colours of freindship but the best I have seen was the bad one for me in starting days That is ,my best freind stopped me to do smoking in our relation's begining period.that time I think that he is a bad guy .but when I got in trubble myself he supported me toooooo much then I got him right. My Father says that freind(good one)always grows like a tree .it gets rigid by time and the water of faith

There are only a few who I can say have been there for me during the worst times and who have picked me up and told me to quit feeling sorry for myself when they were right. But there were others who I thought were friends and all they wanted was a free ride from me. Once they got what they had wanted from me, off they were bad mouthing me with others behind my back. Back stabbing me and making me look like the fool!!! Sick of it!
