Sometimes I feel like my life would be easier without friends. I could probably do just fine with just my husband. But because there's a little part of me that hopes that one day I'll have good friends, I continue to try and make my friendships work. I have three friends aside from my husband. They all live in different states so I talk to them through text, phone, and Facebook chat. Friend one is a self-admitted narcissist who can't take any criticism and takes things the wrong way so I feel like I'm walking on egg shells around her. Friend two spent all her time with her girlfriend/fiance the past year and left me out of her life for the most part until recently when her fiancé broke up with her and now she's desperately coming to me for support. Then tells me she cannot support me because of what she's going through. Friend three is a good person. But whenever we talk on Facebook (thats all we talk through), she randomly leaves without saying bye. It's frustrating. Is this what having friends is like? Am I supposed to just tolerate this? Would I be a bad person if I said to hell with these friendships? I am so tired of it all that i have deactivated Facebook for now. I'm tired of one-sided conversations.
