I am so happy that a friend of mine helped me.

sometimes our friends helps us more than our loer just like in your situation. We tend think much and expect things from our partner more than we expect things in our friends so we feel more disappointed when they do not meet our expectation not like of that of our friends. But still some friends will be your friend forever.

Hi tess.. Feeling so sad to hear that your boyfriend left you. And i agree with your view that friends are the only people who'll be a great adviser, well wisher, etc., I also haves a same kind of bitter experiences in relationship.. In many situations, friends only helped me a lot to heal my heart. I believe that any other relationship cant be equal to friendship My best wishes to you. Time heals everything. Have a good time

It means you have realized it now that one should not ignore his/her friends for the sake of boy/girl friend because old and true friends will always come to your rescue. It is better late than never.

Wow you sure are lucky to have friends that stayed by you during the hard times. I know, I have been there and that was when I came to know who my real friends were. They made things a lot easier for me then. I owe them a lot, seriously.

Good friends are for life! Boyfriends sometimes don't hang around for very long! Treasure your good friends and you will always have the right sort of support!

You have said this so well. If you have a close friend who has come to depend on you, and then you get into a relationship with a boyfriend and almost ignore your friends without realizing it, because you are so caught up in your other relationship, your friend will grow lonely. She relied on you for someone to do things with and call when she needed to talk. If you don't seem to have time for that anymore she will have to look for new friends. Then if the relationship with the boyfriend breaks up, she will have made new friends and might not have time for you anymore. That's why it's good to try to spend some time with your closest friends each week -- even if it's just a phone call to see how they are doing and give them a chance to talk to you and let them know they are still important to you even if you do have the boyfriend. Try to actually see them and do something occasionally with them, too, so you aren't replaced as a friend. I think it never hurts for the boyfriend to also see that you have other friends, too, and that you aren't entirely dependent on him.
