She's been a friend for a long time, but I'm not sure how good a friend!

Question - (2 July 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 2 July 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, *kimx writes:

I made friends with this girl when I was like 7 or 8 but she moved away. I saw her again when I was 13 and we were like best mate for years.

She's moved back around my area but I don't get on with people around there any more because everyone got into a big fight about something stupid--now all my mates and me have split up, but she's stuck by me. We have been through so much but I can't help feeling she mugs me off behind my back. I know she does because I told her certain secrets and people have found out and now more arguments start...but we have been through so much. I know she uses me when she argues with everyone else; she comes running back to me, but I let her. I don't want to any more--I need to respect myself more I think. What do you think?

Hi

Friendships can be a nightmare, a minefield of dos and donts and the rules are different for everyone!

I would say take a step back from this relationship and see it for what it is - Im not saying you cant be friends anymore, afterall, you have a long history together, however I would perhaps concentrate on making new friends who will respect and appreciate the gift that friendship is! you sound like a nice person, dont let this girl knock your self steem! xx

flower girl agony auntIf you are really truely friends with someone, then you should be able to tell them absolutly anything and know without asking that they will 100% keep it to themselves, and if they can't do that then they are not a true friend.

She is causing trouble between you and others because she can't keep things to herself, so if i were in your shoes i would have nothing more to do with her.

You deserve alot more respect than you are getting from her, and people will soon realise what she is like and she will lose out in the long run.

Take care.xx.
