  • You can't, my boyfriend has the same problem and we've been together for 3 years.....I love him, but I've had her for 12 years......he understands now.......your best bet is to give them their alone time, they need time together just like you and her do, she'll appreciate it, and it may make your relationship better if your cool with what she wants to do
  • It depends on your ages. Late teens - forget about it - she and her best friend are all about phone calls, boys and shopping Mid 20's - It's all about the DJ, mixed drinks and body shots Early to Mid 30's - Times are changing from hanging out to sewing buttons on shirts and planning vacations with the family. All in all - if you don't want a girlfriend who is inseparable from her her best friend I would recommend you find a different girlfriend.
  • Actually she shouldn't be doing that ...but maybe you might have to remind her !
  • Leave the women to talk excessively and go watch ESPN in the other room with a cold beer and forget about it. When you can do that you are graduated to be ready for marriage.
  • There's lots of possibilities. If she isn't spending as much time with her best friend as much as she used to, she's probably feeling a bit guilty about that. It's hard to juggle a boyfriend and friends sometimes. If you and her spend alot of time together, she probably just has alot more to talk to her best friend about, as you probably know it all. The last reason I can think of is that you're the problem. You aren't making yourself part of the conversation. This happens to me alot because I lack confidence in myself, I get sidelined and ignored because I dont make myself part of the conversation. It may even be their fault because one is too nervous to get you into the conversation. I find it hard to include others into a conversation if it looks like theyre getting sidelined.
  • Have you tried telling her how they're making you feel? The relationship isn't just about her. Sure she needs friends just like you do,and she shouldn't be asked to eject her friend from her life, but she should also try to make you a part of what is going on as well. Do you still have friends? Invite your best friend over and do the same thing back to her. When she complains about it, Explain again how they made you feel. That's when you can get her to really know how you feel. Sometimes people really have to live it to feel it and truly understand your point of view. The other option is have guy-friend...girl-friend night where both of you can go off separately and enjoy yourself with your best friend. As long as everyone is responsible, doing the right thing and respecting their other half, all will be well. You both have to trust each other, or there's really no point in being with each other.
  • Stop going out with the best friend. Your girlfriend should meet up with her best friend separately so they can have their girl time and you and your girlfriend should spend time together without others.
  • Is this friend with you all the time or just every now and then. I can repect the fact that she hasnt completly shut out her best friend for her boyfriend, which so often happens. Maybe her friend needs to get a bf, set her up with one of your friends and double date. Or bring your bestfriend along and do the same thing to her and give her a taste of her own medicine. Mean but that might be the only way for her to see what she is doing and how much it bothers you.
  • Don't worry about it. This is something you will CHERISH when you grow older. You are a dude, and will never be able to carry on a conversation that is going to be more interesting than one she can have with her girlfriend. The worst thing you can do is become sensitive about it. You'll seem needy, and she'll stab you in the neck and feed you to the fish... Or at least dump you. There will come a day when (even though you love her like crazy) you will stare into the sky, fists clenched and eyes glazed over and shout in a feverish voice "Dear God! For the love of peace and the sanctity of all that is mentally pure!!! PLEASE PLEAAAASSSSE have her friend call her for a girl's night out so I can get some peace???!!!! "She won't stop ear fucking me". <grabs own hair and falls to knees> Come to think of it... I know dudes who would pay real good money to have your problem. And they genuinely love their significant others. In all seriousness, the best relationship you can find will be one where you each have your own things to do, your own friends, and enough emotional security to allow one another to enjoy them. This way, you can snuggle together in bed for the rest of your lives and have new stories to share with one another.
  • Just go out when she has her friend over. I used to hang out with a girl that always used to have her bf there, not that I'm saying your always around when the girl is there. But I used to just want to be with her and talk about girl things so she would sometimes just ignore her bf, which she didn't mean it in a bad way but she was talking to me when I was with her. So just go out and try not to be around her friends when shes with them or just ask her why she ignores you, maybe she'll give you an answerr as to why she does it and ask her if she wants to be alone with her friend too.
  • I see...young winston you are in competition for your GF's attention whenever your GF's friend is around. Here's what you do....when your gf is going to have her friend around tell her you have something to do. All of a sudden anytime this happens you always have something come up. Sooner or later she'll get the point. if she doesnt get the pooint then talk with her. Tell her how you feel. But really, understand that you arent attached at the hip. Back off a little. There is plenty of time to hang with her. Go hang with your own firnds for awhile. Thats all you can do bub.
  • I don't think you can. If I'm with my boyfriend and my best friend, I'm going to be talking more to the best friend, that's just what we're like.
  • Easy peasy. Hit on the friend. You'll never have the problem again. (Girls will squeal, but I've been in the situation and it works.)
  • This is natural. Whenever two people are already together and then a third person comes into the picture, the focus usually shifts to the third person. You should not feel left out. Either try to join in on the conversation, or just let them have their girl talk. As long as the two of you have your own time together regularly with no distractions, it should be all good.
  • dont try to prevent it. just dont hang out with them. your girlfriend needs her girl time
  • Either get use to it or find another girl friend. She obviously places more importance on talking to her friend than to you. I suspect she will not change.
