This is nothing new, but I'm realizing something: I've almost completely lost one of my best female friends to her boyfriend.
I already wrote about this girl and her boyfriend before:
My friend "Jackie" has been dating this dude for almost 2 months now. He's an okay chill guy, although he doesn't talk very much and he sometimes gets Jackie doing percocets and things that she really shouldn't be doing. Ever since she started "officially" dating him, I haven't heard from her very much. Hells, the only two times I hung out with her in the past month or two was when I met up with them in town and then I got screwed over in the plans(long story, partly their fault but not their intentions), and then during Superbowl Sunday when M--k had us over at his apartment to drink our asses off during the game. She ALWAYS has her boyfriend with her...he's like Mary's little lamb...he's been living at her house because his parents kicked him out and he had no place to go. When I call her, she doesn't have much to talk about like she used to, and she's always conversing with her boyfriend in the background every few minutes. There's been more than a few phone calls lately where I say kinda blandly, "You sound busy and it doesn't sound like we have much to talk about, so how about I let you go?"
It's annoying...I feel like Jackie has kinda avoided all her friends for this new boyfriend. She did this before too. She was dating this military guy and was all about spending every day at his place...she even did her college studying at his apartment! But it wasn't as bad as now. When the guy went back to the military, Jackie stayed "dating" him for a few weeks then dumped him because she felt he was being too "controlling" or "clingy." That's fine, but why rebound to this new guy only 1-2 weeks after dumping a guy that you thought was controlling or clingy?
I know it's none of my business but...I really really hate it when friends stop hanging out with you because they have a boyfriend/girlfriend. I don't do that when I have a boyfriend! It also makes me feel left out that I don't have a boyfriend...or should I say, a "pseudo-boyfriend"...aka someone that I can pass off as a boyfriend, use for sex and hanging out, but not have any emotional attachment to. Yep, I need a pseudo boyfriend LOL. Can anyone relate to this? What should I do? Should I talk to her about this? This seems to be a recurring pattern with her. She is still cool with me, it's just that I never ever see her anymore and I miss her.![]()
