It's not only in romantic relationships that can happen. Me and best friend are the same. She wants us to be together a lot, always. Preferably living together, which we did twice. I of course want to be her best friend, but I need time to myself and a home to myself. If I get other friends, she sees that as a threat, like I will leave her.

I'm not sure what to do since she wants us together more than I do, and for me that doesn't mean caring less! Also, I don't know why she is jealous, I haven't disappeared so far.

In really close friendships, and in romantic relationships we will always have a problem with people having different needs. If we both go half way to meet each others needs it still feels like both will lose out. I think we need to start having some acceptance for how relationships can never be perfect. With acceptance comes a sort of faith based foundation that is solid, and it is easier to heal from feelings of bad self esteem and the sorts.

It will be OK, is my new motto, and if it will not be OK, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. That really lowered my stress. For my friend, she never found ways of coping and I feel kind of bad and I don't know how to help her.

Take care of yourself and your guy. Try not to fight over small things. Life is short, and that is not something people just say.
