I need to get used to the fact that friendships last until love gets in the way. In the moment your friend starts dating, say bye bye to them. They will forget that you exist.
Why do people put their partners on a golden pedestal? That's something I will never ever understand.
I don't know exactly what you're going through Hellhound, but I think that I can relate.
My ex-best friend who I was really close to for four or five years before he started dating someone that he knows not even half as long hasn't even texted, called, or e-mailed me once in almost a whole year. I realize that he is married now and had a child, but prior to this, the communication was almost as bad. Plus, you would think that being "best friends" would make it so that the person would make some effort even if they were busy? :idontknow:
I wish that you didn't have to get used to having to say goodbye to friends when a relationship comes along for them. It shouldn't be that way at all, but maybe for protection of your own emotions, it would be good to stay aware of it.
I don't understand why someone would put a partner so far above a friend, especially since the friend has most likely been around much longer and has been there for that person a lot longer. To toss them to the side is just ridiculous in my opinion. Although... I had almost done this once, but luckily I realized what a big mistake I was making before I made it.
On the flip side, I've been in relationships where the individual valued their friends so much that I barely had time with them at all.
Balance... what is that? :bigsmile:
