Friend Driving Me Crazy!
I've referenced a friend on GC before that talks NONSTOP about her boyfriend and their problems. It's been going on since the early summer and I seriously am at my wits end with her.
I'm not exaggerating when I say this, but every single day I get pages upon pages of emails from her telling me about some new drama (I say new because it's a new fight, always about the same thing- him talking to other girls and she can't trust him) and then wanting to know my advice on the situation. Atleast twice a week she texts me when I wake up in the morning and tells me to call her when I'm driving to work- which I never do. She will text me throughout the work day if I don't respond to emails immediately, then she will call me the second I get off and when I don't answer, call back atleast 3 or 4 times in a row. She also texts me to demand that I call her on lunch breaks, etc. I never do any of this because it's my time and the last thing I want to hear about is her lousy relationship.
For the first few months I listened to her because we've been friends for years and I understand what she's going through- I've been in a relationship where I can't trust the guy and I know how much it sucks. But now it's to the point where I don't even want to talk to her. I never call her, she always calls me. Sometimes she will make small talk for about 5 minutes then will immediately launch into a tirade about her boyfriend. I've told her before it's unhealthy, they need to break up if she won't trust him, etc. The guy is a piece of sh*t and she has every reason NOT to trust him, which I've also told her.
I'm through with playing therapist for the last 6 months. How do I get out of this situation?
