writes: My boyfriend has a guy friend. We both have known him for a while. Problem is, he's very overbearing. He dropped out of college, and does nothing but work at his part time job and skate/smoke/drink/play video games. My bf and I are full time college students. Now that's not the problem...the problem is that this friend has too much time on his hands, so he's constantly texting/calling my boyfriend daily, several times a day (one time he called him 12 times, and texted him letter by letter "dude, what's up?"). It's extremely annoying when I haven't seen my boyfriend in a week and this guy calls to hang out, because I want quality time with my bf, you know?? Usually my bf dismisses his calls, but sometimes he feels bad (I don't understand why, he sees him frequently) and agrees to hang out with him, and sort of nudges me to leave...yes, I know it sounds bad but I really can't do anything about it. It annoys me to NO END that this friend is constantly on my boyfriend's case. He is persistent about it too. If my bf doesn't answer once, he will call again, and again, or he will ask his gf to call. He does have a girlfriend, and they ALWAYS want to double date. I'm not saying we don't enjoy their company, but it's just that when we do hang out together, all the boys do is play video games..and I and the other girlfriend pass out. It's a vicious cycle. What do I do next time my boyfriend "gently" asks me to leave to see this friend? He claims that he feels like he's "neglecting" his "bro" so he basically puts me off to see him.

 He is his friend so it's only normal that he wants to spend time with him as well. But talk to him about it and tell him that you want some quality time as well. Come up with a plan that meets in the middle so that everyone is happy and when he is spending time with you ask him to put his phone away.
