i have this friend since high school that i am really close to. Everything was great until she had a boyfriend. I mean its not a big deal for me in fact im happy for her but something out of hand changed things the way they were before. I myself, i do have a boyfiend but i make it a point i spend time with friends. It's like in just a swish of hand , we dont exist anymore for her that her whole world is just her boyfriend. By the way, we are 3 in a group, we are all in a relationship. At first, as friends we understand each other right but 3 years have passed and it is still the same. We tried ralking to her but she wont listen. help?

i can only say that you+ur other friend had do ur best to reminds her about this.but she had also show you what she choose.one day she'll understand that what she had done to her friend is wrong,but until that time you cant do anything more for her.so just let her go.she's abviously not a good person to be friend with

You three should meet halfway. But if I were in your place, I would have ignored my friend who took me for granted. A friend who takes you for granted is not a friend for friends always stand by the side of their friend no matter what.

It happens. You find the older you get the more you lose touch with your friends and get preoccupied. Expecially when people start dating and then when you get married and the friends who have kids. You don't see them like you use to. Sometimes they come back and I hope that for her sake it's not in a crisis situation which is usually the only time I see my old friends. Give it time and do your part to keep in touch. She may or may not come around and if she doesn't try to move on to new friends.

your friends is like my friend. we are seven in our group, and while each one of us enter into a relationship, the harder for us to meet. we have to schedule all our meetings and the places we want to go. one by one, every time one of our friend has a boyfriend the harder for them to contact and to please to go out with us, because they say they are going out with their boyfriends. so what we did is, we also invited their boyfriends. so no more problem.
