We’re both in our early 30’s, have been friends since primary school, we’ve got matching tattoos, been on holiday together numerous times etc etc - we are very close.
Neither of us have had the easiest life but like most people we have gone through traumas and sad situations. We’ve always been there for each other.
However, I’m starting to feel like an unpaid therapist and getting to the point where I feel a bit of anxiety when my friend texts me.
She has been going through a rough patch in her relationship now for over 2 years. Been together 4, have a child and are engaged due to marry in spring 2026.
I’m not the biggest fan of her soon to be husband becuase he treats her like dirt but we’ve gone round in circles about this for 2 years.
Every time we meet up we mainly talk about her and her life, I’m getting to the point where I’m so done with getting evening texts or calls about what he’s done wrong now. When she asks for honest advice I say to leave, don’t marry this guy! She is back with him the next day and apparently never been happier.
I have a family of my own and 2 young children, a full time job, I don’t have time multiple times a week to also talk about her relationship.
I miss our friendship how it was, of course we spoke about difficult times but I’m getting to the point where every chat is 90% about her and her issues
I feel like a horrible person
