I HATE MEN

I don’t understand how one day your supposedly “best” friend can do a 180 and act like nothing is wrong with the friendship?

If you want to hear my situation…here goes:

My best friend and I have been having various arguments about little stuff that escalated into larger issues.  She recently has been seeing someone serious for about 2 months…“I know I know.  Not a long time at all.  My point exactly.” Anyways, she calls me up at least twice a week asking when we can get together and go out to have some fun.  I always let her know what is going on and my plans her words are this…”call me as soon as you get there and I’ll come over.” And I do.  The problem here is every time I call with plans she makes up an excuse. “Oh I’m dirty.” “He (the boyfriend) won’t want me to go.” or my favorite no response until the next day where she then says, “I didn’t hear my phone.” or “There was no reception.”

The problem I have is, “Why bother calling me and asking to hang out if every time an excuse has to be made?” The situation itself is crappy to be in, but it really is upsetting to me that we were “best” friends.  Out of all her “best” friends I was the ONLY one who showed up to her college graduation.  The ONLY one who showed up for her graduation dinner.  The ONLY one who wanted her to get together with her current boyfriend.  And the ONLY one who drove and hour and half to a party where I knew no one.

Last night, I called to see how her first day at her new job since she graduated went.

ring. ring. ring. ring. ring. voicemail.

Do you want to know the best part about that?  I knew for a fact that her boyfriend was on his way over to her house and she must have avoided my call.  “Doesn’t that sound crazy?” I left her message telling her exactly how I felt.  Her boyfriend called one of my friends and got on the subject of his girlfriend and our “fighting.”  He wanted to know why I wanted them to break up?  My friend said, “What are you talking about? She was the only one that thought you two would make a good couple.” He then went on to say well then why does she keep telling me that she wants her to go out without me.  My friend told him, “Listen, she calls her wanting to go out for a girls night and then breaks the plans at the last minute with stupid excuses because of you.”

Apparently, my “best” friend has gotten herself in a web of lies.  This morning I got a text message from my best and it said…”Work was great.  We should get pedicures this week.”  I couldn’t believe she didn’t listen to my message that I left her on voicemail because if she had I guarantee the text would have been a bit different.
