Have you noticed how powerful the bonds are between female friends? Women may shop together, take their kids to school together and plan some additions to their homes together BUT if one of them suddenly has more money or became more successful, it can change things... How do you deal with it?

That is very interesting. I could only treat people in the manner I would like them to treat me. If there are people that change then there must be a reason or more responsibilities that entail their being more successful. The part when you can still be friends even though at trying times are the most memorable times you can have with a friend. Stay Happy, 8-)

It should not change anything because a true friend never thinks badly of the other but rather should be happy with the other's success. However some tend to get big heads and drop their friend(s) because of their success. If that's the case then they weren't a friend in the first place so you move on to bigger and better things.

Hi CatsandDogs! If one friend cannot truly emphatize with the other, the relationship maybe threatened. I tried really hard to pinpoint what I did wrong because of her sudden lack of availability. Well, thank you very much and have a nice day!!!

Hi needy911! Sometimes being envious to your friend will make you bitter somehow. You keep comparing what you have and what you don't have with her, that would lead to disaster. I guess, it is better for friends to be supportive and sensitive to each other. But if that happens to me, if my friend will be envious of my life, I will still be a friend to her, try to reach out to her and assure that life just sometimes throw challenges along the way. I will not make her feel that i have so much while she have less. Maybe, with love and assurance she will realize that are friendship is genuine. Well, just my thoughts. Take care and have a nice day!
