My Friend Abandoned Her Friends For Her Relationship

Being in a relationship usually means you have less time for your friends because you obviously want to spend time with whoever you’re dating. But being in a relationship also means learning how to balance time with your boo and time with your friends. Some people are better at this than others.

One of my friends is in a relationship and has literally fallen off the planet. When they first started dating, we still hung out a lot. But the movie nights and hang out seshes got more and more infrequent the longer they were dating.

Fast forward to a year later, and she ignores every text and phone call I send her way. And it’s not just me. She’s ignoring everyone in our friend group. We didn’t have a falling out or anything like that. No drama. She’s just completely immersed herself in her relationship.

And I can see that she’s tweeting and Instagramming. I know she has her phone and her number hasn’t changed. She always tweets about her boyfriend and all of the things they do together, which means that she has abandoned all of her friends for her boyfriend.

Part of me gets it because I was in a relationship where my friends hated my boyfriend, and he didn’t want to hang out with them either. So I ended up spending a lot more time with him. But I would make time for my friends and never ignored their calls or texts.

It hurts knowing that she’s willing to toss our friendship aside just like that without an explanation. And it’s just really frustrating, and I can’t deal with another friend breakup! And how can I talk to her about this if she won’t talk to me? What am I supposed to do?

I could really use your input here! Have any of your friends done this? Should I let it go or keep trying to talk to her? Tell me in the comments!

    Id personally go to her house and tell her mum whats been going on…its not bitching behind her back or anything and her mum will realise you’re upset and concerned and will be able to help

    I would try talking to her, but after that talk I would find someone else to hang out with if she doesn’t realize what a jerk she has been. I’m in the same situation right now. I hope everything works out.

    I had the exact same problem with my friend, but it took me too long to talk to her face to face! DO NOT DO IT OVER THE INTERNET/CELL PHONE. Talk to her in person and just say that you’ve missed her lately and that you really want her to make some time for you. Don’t say anything bad about her boyfriend! Make it more about your friendship than him.

    I think you should go to talk to her face to face, maybe you can go to her house or any place you know she will be. If she doesen’t want to talk to you or you just brake up, then she will have to deal without you if she brakes up with her boyfriend!

    Let her know that your friendship, which you value, is shaky, and she needs to address that. You two need to get face to face and talk about your friendship.
