I have a similar problem with my best friend, and what I've decided to do is just understand that maybe we met because she needed support in her life that I could give her. I like to complain because she doesn't share in my happiness over my wedding or that she didn't cry with me when I had a death in my family because she and her bf had broken up two days earlier and that's all she could think of, but I always feel like I'm a bigger person because I know that I'm always there when she needs me.
When I feel like I just can't take it anymore and just have to talk to her about things, I just ignore whatever she's saying at the moment and interject my topic. It sounds rude, but sometimes that's the only way I feel like she really hears what I'm saying. I could never go crazy at her for not listening because that's mean, so try to be tactful and ladylike, and maybe she'll get the hint.
