The past couple of months she never even calls, and whenever I do finally hear from her, she's all, "This has been the busiest week/month, I've had to do this and this and this and this and this," and I kinda don't believe her.
And then my other friend was a girl who I started dancing with, but she was dating my best guy friend, and there was a bit of a nasty breakup and I kinda got caught in the middle of it to a certain extent. Then she kinda started on this weird downward spiral and got into a bit of a dark place, especially with dancing, and our experiences as strippers starting to become very different. She moved to another club and is much happier there, and we made up, but we don't really talk much anymore.
There's also Heidi, a girl I grew up with in Arkansas. She lives in New Mexico now, where she's in grad school, and although I talk to her maybe once or twice a month, I haven't actually seen her in like 4 years.
I hoped to make friends with my fiancee's friends, and although I honestly do get along really well with all his guy friends, all of the ones in a relationship (or marriage) have these super controlling, manipulative, paranoid wives who have started to boycott me...they ban their husbands/SO's from being around me, or if we're all hanging out, the women will start trying to claim their territory and make these catty little comments that I don't really tolerate.
It's difficult. Once we're married and we move to wherever Joe will be stationed, I hope to make new friends, but I'm a little skeptical of it now. How do I know that there won't be some terrible sorority of fat, ugly, judgmental, Christian military wives? My Dad was a pilot in the Air Force, so my Mom's been through this experience, and she warned me about it: all the other men (especially pilots) will constantly try to sleep with me behind Joe's back, and all their wives will blame me for it. It's a pretty depressing idea.
