Why did she act like this???

Question

I don't even know where to begin on this one, I'm so pissed off. So I just broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years. I tell my "best" friend about it--or at least I start to before she cuts me off to ask someone about hair-do's and launches off into another story about herself and her bad haircut. I had to force my way into the conversation to finish telling her about it. We start walking home and she talks about some problems in her own relationship. Fine.

But then she starts up with the nick-names she has for her boyfriend and "oh the good times we have together" and whatever else--I mean WTF why in God's name would I want to hear about her calling this guy (who has the same name as my new ex) "big s**y"? I mean it's just common sense here! Then she invites me into her house where we talk for a bit and then she gets on the phone for half the time (with her bf/a mutual friend)! I just left.

What should I do? I don't want to cut her off, but I obviously can't confide in her.

Answer 1

yeah, and you call this a friend?  Cut the b#### off.

Answer 2

She's not your friend. Sorry to let you know. She acts like this simply because she is self absorbed, immature and shallow.

Take this opportunity to make some new friends. Good luck and I'm sorry about your break up. It will get better. Email me if you want to chat. Believe me, I've been there.
