Are You a Good Friend?

This person is your BFF when they are single and needs you to be the wing person in order to fill their social calendar. But as soon as they enter a relationship, you drop abruptly to zero priority. Then, the minute they go through a breakup, you’re the person they call to weep and vent to, only for the same cycle of MIA to repeat once they meet their next beau. While it’s normal for friends to have less time and availability when they have a new relationship and other priorities in their life come up, it’s not okay for them to completely disappear only to reappear when in need. Don’t ditch your friends the minute you get into a relationship. I’ve had many friends (I’ve done this before and learned my lesson), who are your BFF when they are single, and the minute they hook up, they are completely MIA. What’s most annoying is, once they breakup, you are once again on their speed dial. What gives? Friends are not placed on a shelf until you need them next. Make the effort even when you have a significant other.
