A response to "The Girl Who Chooses Her Boyfriend Over her Friends"

I get it; you're head-over-heels in love with your boyfriend. You want to spend as much time with him as you can, I mean, why wouldn't you? He's your best friend and there's nothing wrong with that. But it becomes a problem when your boyfriend becomes your only friend.

Take it from a girl who constantly picked her boyfriend over her friends. At the time, it was great. I got to spend all of my time with my best friend. We were the best friends anybody could have. But once the relationship ended, so did our friendship, and I lost my boyfriend and my best friend all at once.

I left my friends for someone who ultimately shattered my heart. Yes my friends were there for me, but the problem was that I kept choosing him over them. It's a fact; girls need their friends. And if you don't believe that, watch an episode of "Friends."

I chose one person who's been there for me for a few things over people who have been with me through hell and back, a choice I sincerely regret. I'm not saying never spend time with your boyfriend. I'm saying that it shouldn't get to the point where your friends want you to break up so they can get you back. I've been there, and trust me, you don't want to go there.

Also, I'm not saying that the relationship you have with your boyfriend is going to end. But if it does, your friends might not be as supportive as they could be. And honestly, why would they? Instead of going to a girls' night out or to dinner or to a party (something you probably haven't been to in a while) you were with him. You spent as much time with him as you could and left them.

I'm not bashing girls who choose their boyfriends over their friends, I've been there, so I know how you're feeling. But, I'll say what your friends are probably too scared to say: they miss you. Being in love doesn't justify constantly ditching your friends.
