in a relationship but friendless

Help! I'm in love, but where'd my friends go?

Since meeting my girlfriend about 2 years ago, can't help but notice my friends are MIA. Don't think it's happening on purpose or anything, but when you live with someone and spend so much "quality time" together, one day you wake up and realize you can't call anyone cause you haven't spoken to them in over a year and it might make for awkward conversation. I'm very happy with my girl, but feel like a total loser.

Have you considered ways that you might be able to include others in your life? What would feel nourishing to you AND the relationship? For example: a barbecue – and invite some of your old friends – they get to know her a little better and you can kick back and catch up.

Bad friend-vestment

My best friend is a bum

So, in the craptastic economy crash, both my best friend and I lost our jobs. We've always talked about starting a business together and the opportunity was thrown right in our laps, so we decided to take the steps to start up. We're graphic artists/website designers and we each put in our whole savings to rent a studio, print up cards, get our supplies, etc. We have a couple small clients and I work my butt off to please them, while Damien (my friend) sleeps in all the time, slacks off and leaves me with 80% of the responsibility and work. He's my best friend, but this is ridiculous! Do I just try dissolve the partnership and lose my friend and partner?

I think if you really talk to your friend, he’ll get it through his head. Threaten to fire him if he doesn’t pick up the slack. If he continues doing what he’s doing, he deserved it, but give him a chance to pull a 180.

Loser for a Roommate

My roommate's a loser

I'm pretty hard up for money so I put up an ad on Craigslist for a roommate and he seemed fully normal, no credit issues, no visible tattoos, trackmarks or nose rings and actually has a job. What I didn't know was that he's a Dungeons and Dragons-style L-O-S-E-R. The guy is never out, which means he's constantly hanging out on my couch in his boxers watching CSI marathons. He's well on his way to being the 40 Year Old Virgin. And now my apartment smells like a combo of my junior high school locker room and aged cheese. We're around the same age so it's massively awkward I'm not asking him to hang out or introducing him to any of my friends. Not to mention it's a serious cockblocker situation when I bring anyone home.

He possibly has no idea that he gives you the shits, but you should confront him about things, he’s paying rent ofcourse, the place is yours lay down some rules.
perhaps make things a little inconvenient for him, like watching “your tv programs” when he wants to watch something that he likes, its YOUR tv right? or even give him a taste of his own medicine some other way just to show him what its like, if he gets upset, you can always reply “are you fucking kidding? you sit infront of my tv 24/7″ or something like that

Friends With the Ex

Staying Friendly

My ex boyfriend and me are friends, but i still love him alot. it hurts me to see him with other girls flirting and holding hands and stuff . he comes up to me sometimes and even puts his arm around me and tries to kiss me hugs me tells me he loves me and even still calls me by the nickname he used to. but yet he says we aren't going to get back together. but sometimes he changes his mind. i think hes confused himself. i dont know what to do i want to still talk to him but i hate being confused and i cant live without talking to him and i really cant forget about him. i have tried and time again it sucks. ! what do i doooooo !?
