CASE - Yes, that may be true. However, we've known eachother for almost 10 years and she wanted to start coming w/me bc she knew I would be patient and not make fun of her. During our talks, she said we'd have to go slow bc she hasn't exercised in so long & has gotten lazy. I told her I was just...

Hi eveyone. I always enjoy coming here to ask questions bc I appreciate different points of view. As I asked in the subject line...do you do things by yourself bc others keep letting you down? I had a friend come to me and ask to start working out w/me. She's had others make fun of her &...

OP: You are absolutely correct! I'll have to remember your phrase "emotional vampires." That's a good one. My friend and I tend to call it "the dumping syndrome." People treat you like a landfill bc they come and just dump sadness, anger & constant drama on you. I find that its even worse when...

Willowrain - Your post was as if I typed it myself. I'm right there w/ya. My hubby is my best friend & my closest confindante. I have been friends w/some girls for 10+ yrs, but as time goes by, the contact fades more and more w/them. Out of those 8, I only talk to 3 on a regular basis. I hate...

Hi everyone. I've really been down in the dumps this week & just wanted to come on here to see if anyone else feels or has felt like I do. I talked to my hubby about it, but he just looks @ me w/this sad face bc he wants to make it better but doesn't know how. I look around at others and feel...

To the original poster....what others have said on here is true. Try to find things that you have similar interests in. I will be honest though...sometimes that works, sometimes its just not enough. I say that bc I took college classes a few yrs ago at night. I ended up being friends w/a girl...

I can definitely relate and what the previous poster said is true...there's always something to do if that person thinks of you as a friend. However, in MY experience over the years, I think sometimes people tend to put you into different "friendship slots." Sometimes I think it may/may not be...

*This will be the absolute last time I comment on this. Yesterday I stated I wouldn't bring it up again...however there's an update.* She called me @ lunch today in tears. She FINALLY saw the light! She said she found out last night thru a co-worker of hers that the "baby mama" he was seeing at...

You are correct and I am just about to that point. I guess I just hate to see someone who is so smart in all other areas just completely lose her mind when it comes to this. I've seen a lot of relationships w/friends and family members just end up imploding bc they knew things weren't right from...

Y, same situation and isn't I'm just as sad about having to come here and get more opinions about this. I could just shake my friend. She's STILL going through this exact same mess. Another friend of her's thinks this guy is cheating now that he's out of town, so she doesn't like to hear what...

Hey everyone. I'm sorry if that subject sounds really odd, but that's the situation i'm witnessing right now. A really good friend of mine w/whom i've been friends with for almost 15 yrs is going through this. She hadn't dated for several years. She found a guy who was local. She liked that bc...

:D Jeremy Kyle! I'm ashamed (well not really) that I know about him and his show! It was on here in our area for about a year, then they took it off. It came on the same channel as all of those similar type shows(springer, steve wilkos, cheaters, etc). I actually enjoyed JK bc he was very...

Thanks guys & gals for your replies. I too think she should move on. When she started telling me all of this stuff, I was just flabbergasted @ the amount of red flags that were flashing in front of me...and I thought they would have flashed in front of HER! She ended up getting mad @ me the...

Hi. I haven't posted in a while, but thought i'd come here to see if anyone else as gone through this. For the past couple of months, I have been trying to help my friend, but honestly I just don't know what else to tell her. She met someone about 5 months ago. She was so excited because she...

Hey everyone. I wondered if anyone else has ever been through this? A friend of mine called the other day to tell me about how her friendship w/a former co-worker has all but gone down the tubes now that they don't work together. She(my friend) moved from TN to Washington State about 8 months...
