Is she your best friend because she is loyal? Can't be over converstion ;) This is a touchy one. Recently a female friend of mine would call every night and COMPLAIN about her life. After a couple weeks of that I had to tell her that while it is nice to have a friend; a downer or gossiper is not what I am interested in. Of course, in my case, I never heard back from her. Hopefully yours will pan out, or introduce her to someone who does care about her rabid interest in Mickey Ds.

That's a really difficult thing. I've been through that too. I had a friend that would call me allllll day; sometimes up to 20 times a day. I spent her day with her wherever she was for a while. She knew I was home sick and decided that instead of me resting, it was better for her to take every moment of my time and claim it as her own! If she called and I couldn't or didn't get the phone, she would call back before I got the chance to return the call. I tried to explain to her how awful I felt and that I didn't want to be on the phone all of the time. It was like she didn't care. She told me every problem she ever had and a lot of nonsense that I didn't need to deal with. One day I tried telling her for 20 minutes I was so tired I was afraid I was going to pass out. She didn't care to hear me and I fell asleep while she was still talking! Finally, the only option I could find was not to answer the phone when she called. She was actually pissed for a while too, but she got over it and got the message. I still talk to her sometimes, but she no longer controls my life. I talk to her when I feel like it, not because she thinks I should give her my undivided attention whenever she fancies it! I can't believe I allowed her to do that at all! It's sad that some people just don't get it, or even hear what you're telling them sometimes so you have to resort to things like I had to. But it was necessary and it worked. Good luck to you.

I'd shoot myself in the face if I had to listen to that.

Keep a log of how much time you talk to her and what the subjects are. Then tell her, "I value your friendship but I am not willing to continue spending this much time revisiting the same old issues." If she raises a question about the issues you have your list. If she raises a question about your willingness-tell her you're just not willing-period.

I announce my rules early in a friendship, to save me misery later on. "I don't hug, I don't 'air-kiss,' I don't babysit, I don't do 'girls-night-out', If you can't say it in 5 phone minutes, you need to send me an e-mail," Good Luck!

OH MY GOSH! I had friends like this (2 of them)and they would always get upset if I didn't want to speak forever. I finally stopped answering their calls unless I had the time to talk, and then I would make sure to tell them right away at the beginning that I had plans so couldn't talk for long. I didn't want to cause a fight or drama, or hurt their feelings, so I just took care of it the passive way and nobody is hurt, and I'm not stuck on the phone any more.

thats pretty tough there, i would just start coming up with reasons to get off the phone after a bit and then maybe not answer and text something saying i was busy whats up? when she says nothing much then thats it.
