It's been the same since we were in school. She'd be very intense, wanting to do something everyday, calling every morning and plannings trips for every holiday. Then she'd meet a bloke and within a week she'd be madly in love with him and not have a day free to see friends. Any communication from her would be about him, asking what to wear on dates or to decipher his texts, that sort of thing.
We're now in our 30s, she's been through a divorce and I was there for her every day. I have my own family and job but was happy to spend regular evenings and weekends doing things to distract her and we planned a couple of trips.
Then she started dating again and has had several short relationships all of which she reverted to her usual MO in. I wouldn't see her for weeks and only hear from her if the bloke was the topic of conversation. Then the relationship would end and she'd be back again.
I found her openness to fall in love quite endearing when we were younger but now, I'm just feeling a bit used. When she's not in a relationship, we only do things she's interested in doing and she doesn't want to do what I enjoy but will then do those things with the next bloke. For example, I suggested a trip to Rome for one of our trips as I really wanted to go, she said she'd never want to go there so we went to her choice of destination instead. Fast forward a few months and she's off to Rome with her new man.
AIBU to distance myself from her?
