My best friend...

[Aude Sapere]

....Has been such a bitch ever since she started going out with her new Bf. When she isn't talking about him, she acts like a depressed lowlife who hates the world. She doesn't even care about getting into a good college anymore, and i think its because her BF never even started highschool and is too lazy to get a GED. I made the mistake of approving of him, and now when im not hearing about him, all i hear is her complaints. I try to cheer her up, but all she does is bitch, moan, and snap. Complain, complain, complain. She's gotten so selfish, and it's driving me insane. Seriously, she has given misery a new meaning. She has changed so much, and is now never even happy anymore. Her Bf has a great deal of problems, and its defiantly dragging her down. of course, she thinks that they are in love, and all of that lovey dovey bullshit, and when i jokingly suggested that they should break up because she complained about him, she almost started crying. It's pathetic. I really can't take it anymore, I absolutly dread seeing her now. Yeah, school sucks, but get over it. I am just glad i only have to see her now in homeroom, on the bus, and during English. I want to slap her, agh! She's never happy anymore, she doesn't talk, or smile. What the hell is her problem? What a downer. *series of angry noises*

Her problem, my dear, is that in the first few months of dating someone your brain is releasing chemicals. The same chemicals that ecstasy releases and makes you feel all 'I-love-the-world', though in this case, just her boyfriend. And when the chemicals go bye bye, you are horribly depressed.

I also know what you're going through, partially. Though my best friend hasn't decided she's not going to college anymore, and her boyfriend is attending school with us, I still feel very.. replaced. Like the only reason we were friends in the first place is because she was single and needed someone to fill in her boyfriend time. I've just learned she's been feeling left out because I was shying away from her, all with the all-over-the-boyfriend between every class and ignoring basically everyone once he shows up. :/

And about the falling in love thing, I know a couple who I'm good friends with decided they were 'deeply, madly, truly in love' after a week of dating...

They're awesome friends, but sometimes I really want to slap them.

If you ever need to vent, I'm here. :]

My half sis got herself pregnant with a guy who "loves her" now her family is disowning her . I don't get why people always say they are in love, maybe she's delusional *shrugs apologetically*.

[james"bloody tears"]

if her lifes going down the drain for this guy let it, but be there to pick her up when its all said and done.next time shell listen.

James is right. You can sit her down and explain (not joke) about how you feel and what you think is going to happen to her if this continues. If it starts to get REALLY bad, talk to a mutual friend who might have a bit more influence. Even if nothing works, just help her put the pieces back once he's nocked em out.

It may sound too cold, but what I do when somebody acts like that is leaving them aside. I think it's the most effective way to make them realise that I'm not comfortable with their behavior any longer. If they change their minds, and come back to me, I accept them again. If not, I let them go. I have enough problems myself as to get headaches because of the selfishness of a friend.
This has happened to me a lot within my group of friends. I find it so annoying...

Does actualy marrying the person make it any different?

Harsh...Well you can do what Lady_Lacrimosa_Umbrae said and just leave her alone. Eventually, she will come back to you. But be careful he does not get her pregnant, because then she will have a big problem.
