I lost a friend... I hate when MAN takes precedence over FRIEND...

Oh well... He's the newest "toy"... it will wear off...

I'm not sure I'll be waiting to be friends when she gets done playing with him...

Ok.. vent over.

I had a friend who did the same thing. She was also very codependent. I eventually just moved on when I had enough. I'm sorry this is happening to you.

Thanks... It's not my first time at this rodeo... It's just getting very tiresome.

This is happened to DD and myself, too. Growing up it would happen when friends met boys and merged into couples. Then I did it and still get dinged by a friend who did the same thing.

There is a friend at DDs school who bounces between other kids and DD will get dumped, but what I learned is that it's the parent. This is the type of person who seeks people for their resources, not so much for real friendship and that helped to learn.

I don't let us get too attached really to anyone now and it really helps, but still hurt can come.

I'm really sorry, JRC. We get to the end of our rope at times, don't we?

I don't think she is a nice person in general. She is a bully. Today she was picking on a co-worker who hasn't said or done anything to her.

I will be distancing myself from her. She is not nice.
