writes: I have an excellent friendship with my best mate; however she has issues with being insecure and is very demanding of my time. She rings and texts me constantly when I'm at work and at home. I'm flattered that she wants my advice and wants to turn to me but it's starting to drain me emotionally especially as the conversation is very one sided (I don't get a word in). Now I've met a new bloke and I'm trying really hard to split my time so as she doesn't feel left out but it doesn't seem to be enough and I'm finding it hard not to feel a little bit of resentment. I've tried talking to her about it but she takes offence and starts saying that I'm never there for her anymore. I want to be there for her but I need to live my own life as well. Please help!

Tell her, no, I am not going to be there for you ever again. and then end it. She is insecure and looking to live life through someone else. You are the latest. Stop the game. You don't have to play it, and you don't owe her an explanation. She has serious emotional and mental problems. If you can get her to seek professional help, then try. But end this with her. YOu need to get on with your life.
