I had a best friend, and we did everything together. We saw each other at least a few times a week. Every weekend, all weekend we'd hang out with each other and our group of friends.
We told each other everything, even things we've never told anyone before. We were like sisters, and we told each other that.
She's an only child, and has always has been the quiet, insecure type. I'm loud and I'm confident most of the time, but I can be obnoxious and annoying. So at first, we seemed to even each other out.
But here comes the uh-oh: The boyfriend. I talked her into dating him because she liked him, but she was scared to date him. So I started texting him to get to know him, but she didn't like that. We weren't allowed to text. So I told her that he got on my nerves to quiet her down. She was secretly angry about that for months. Now I talk to him again, and if she catches us texting, he gets yelled at.
I took her on a cruise, and my family paid for most of it. Then comes my birthday, she didn't get me anything because she was busy with her boyfriend the weekend prior. She took me to the beach for her birthday for a week, literally all she did was text him or talk about him, so I hung out with her family most of the time. Took her on a mission trip and a camping trip, and basically the whole time she missed him and talked to him on the phone.
So here's the deal, now she sees him everyday at school, he comes over everyday after school, and they always spend the weekend together. I hardly see her (by her choice) anymore. I haven't been to her house in MONTHS. Since I was practically like family, this hurts.
To top it all off, four of my closest friends have left for college this year, and I'm left on the weekends with nothing to do because all my friends are too busy for me or at college. And I don't even like my best friend anymore. All she talks about is herself or her boyfriend. I'm trying to avoid her, but I see her all the time because of rehearsal. I hate spending time with her there, because I know she's only spending that time with me beacuse she has to.
Her boyfriend's birthday is in two months, and she's obsessing over throwing him a surprise party and ordering him all these presents online.
I may be complaining, but things have been tough at home lately, and I get very angry or cry over everything everyday now. I don't know what to do. I've talked to her about it, and she treats me like I'm getting angry at her for no reason and being a horrible friend.
Help! I'm in a rut. What next?
