My BFF and her boyfriend

[Guest ☽ ᴍᴏɴᴏᴄᴇʀᴏs ☾]

My best friend IRL, went to live with her boyfriend to another city about eight months ago. Since it was gone I have not seen her. A week ago she came to visit her parents' house with her boyfriend. I told her to get together, because I missed her a lot. So she went with her boyfriend. So, I understand why, but it kept bothering me. During the whole day we almost didn't talk, because she paid more attention to her boyfriend. And I understand that she wants to be with him because, it's her boyfriend. But I'm her best friend, I didn't see her eight months ago, and they see each other every day! Even when I told her that I had to leave, because it was late and it was getting cold, she said "ah, yeah, the bus stop is over there". And I felt very bad, because she was not able to accompany me to the bus stop. I know it's stupid. But I felt all the time like the third wheel.

Sadly this is so common it's almost "blah". Not for the people that get left behind of course, but the situation itself.

It's simply what happens. You are holding on to the friendship, she is madly in love, and everything else takes a backseat.

Yes it sucks, but it's just part of life. People move away, they grow apart, they change their priorities etc.

Im sorry but she is not your BFF anymore, at least not right now.

 

As the initial “new car smell” fades away, she may reach back out to you and your relationship will settle back in or, and possibly, your time together is done.

 

 

I know it sucks, but I hope it does not deter you form going out and exploring your life anew.
