I have a friend who I've known since school, over 20 years now. Our lives have taken different paths but we've always kept in contact and met up, sometimes more than others depending on what is going on in our lives.
I'm pretty laid back type, as is my DP. We have a house together, but not married and not that bothered about it. I've often had long periods being single as it's not something that bothers me and worked my way up the corporate ladder.
My friend is very different and has been single for at most a few months as long as I've known here, but mostly the guys have been pretty decent but she has been a little bit more challenging. She's quite needy and insecure and the guys end up just leaving because of this as she can be full on drama llama. I've always been there to support her and be a shoulder to cry on when things have ended.
Past few years she has met a really lovely guy, and was great to start. But the last year or so all I've got is constant complaining about him. She moved into his house a few months ago and it's just got worse and worse - he doesn't do this, he doesn't do that - but I know he is doing nothing wrong.
I'm just fed up of it. We haven't ended up seeing much of each other the past 6 months because whenever I see her I have to listen to the same old broken record. She can be really lovely and genuinely takes an interest in what I'm doing, but usually the conversation ends up back to her and whatever the latest drama is.
I had another set of messages from her tonight, and it's the usual drama, not even a how are you. DP has said before I should do whatever I feel is right when I've talked about it before and he's so lovely and supportive. He doesn't see eye to eye with her, and he's the sort of guy that will get on with anyone usually.
Sorry for the rambling, but I really am just fed up of it (and DP has gone out so I can't ramble at him about it !).
