I don’t 😅
honestly you just have to call them out on it. I was this friend many years back and I’ve had people be that friend to me. a lot of the time we didn’t even realize we were doing it. it’s never meant maliciously. unless it is, and it keeps happening, then that’s a different story.
Struggling with this myself. My sister has a big codependency issue. She becomes almost obsessed with her boyfriends and cuts everyone off. Out of 4 siblings we are the closest and we go from talking daily to then barely once a month and I know what’s up immediately.
All her relationships have ended because they have found her too much. I only know this because when they break up she comes to me to talk about it and shares her messages. I’ve had so much patience but she’s at it again and I’ve honestly had enough.
I don’t. My two best friends are both in long-term relationships and we still actively maintain our friendships.
I don’t. I call it out and then if it continues, I cut them off. Sucks to suck.
depends on how close we are, if we only hang out once a month i honestly don’t mind do ur thing. but if we’re like, best friends, im prolly gonna ask u about it
I don’t play that game. You’re either in it for the life or not at all.
When younger it made me the back up friend. Now I just step back. You want to be around them that’s cool but I’m not a back up for entertainment and no I don’t need to know about your relationship
