What's a part time friend, how did she make you break up with him. What's her angle.

A reader, anonymous, writes (10 July 2008):

I don't see how she influenced you into breaking up with him.

Does she fancy him? And seeing as she is a "part-time friend" I don't see that her opinion made you split up with him.

If she can't be friends with you when you're dating a guy you're obviously crazy about, then she is not a very good friend. I know you want to remain friends with her, but you have to think of a reason to why she would want you to break up with him (if you don't already know). Get back with this guy and ditch the part-time friend, if she can't be happy for you when you're happy, she is not a good mate.

My mate is mad over this guy I hate, but even still I want them to get together, just so she's happy.

I hope this helped- if you enclosed a little more detail in your question I could give you better advice.

Your friends can't tell you who to date unless you let them.Unless that boy is treating her bad in any way,then I

say that you shouldn't listen to your friend.You were

obviously happy with him in your life,so I say go for it.

And if your friend doesn't like it,then oh well.No one should tell people who they can and can't date.

x Nic x agony auntWhy did your friend tell you to break up with him? Was there a reason why your friend wanted you to stop seeing him?

If you were happy with your boyfriend then why did you break up with him? Just because someone told you to?

x-kitycatlok-x agony auntYou listened to a part-time friend over your own feelings, and she isn't even a full friend, yes? Obviously, this was a silly thing to do and you obviously regret it. Hopefully you'll have learnt your lesson and only listen to yourself instead of other people, let alone people who aren't even your true friends. Tell your boyfriend you want to go back out with him and drop the friend. They obviously don't want what's best for you and you don't deserve that.

Wishing you the best.

Friends will have more respect for you if you stand up for what you believe in, and be a bit more authentic.

You deserve happiness. Everyone deserves happiness. Try and get back together with your boyfriend for one because this makes you happy, and if your friend can't take it, she or he isn't a friend surely?!

I know it sounds like your being pushed around now =P Your friend tells you to break up with him, I say get back together. So I'll ask it like a question which might sound slightly biast.

Do you want to be friends with someone who you want to be friends with but can't respect your wishes?

Do you want to be happy?!

Do you want to feel empty or full?!

Has your boyfriend done anything?!

Do you think your friend would want you to be happy?!

You cant just break up with someone when your freind tells you to. What are you going to do next? If your friend tells you to jump of a bridge, are you going to do that? Dont let anyone tell you want to do, especially when it comes to relationships. If your friend was really your friend than he/she would have never wanted you to ruin your happiness. Get back with you bf and tell your friend that your happy and they should back off!

Good Luck!
