I’ve been having some negative feelings about my friend Beth lately.

We’ve known each other since we started college over a year ago, and we spend pretty much all of our free periods with each other throughout the day.

She is 24, and I am 19, our sense of humour doesn’t always ‘click’; we seem to wind each other up quite often. I think we get along fine because we are so different (she’s sociable, and I’m fairly reserved) - of course, she’s easy for me to talk to too; we are also fairly disagreeable with our opinions on things.

In short, I think the amount of time we spend together is too much, and I think that maybe, it might be better that we spend more of it with different people. How do I approach her without causing any harsh feelings? Can I do that? Should I wait for this to fly over instead?

I’m also think that it’s me that’s the problem; maybe I should learn to put up with her, be a nicer person even. Help :(

Five years is a pretty big age difference at this stage of your lives. It’s not necessarily a show-stopper, but she’s probably thinking about different things and seeing them in different ways than you.

I think you ought to give it more time, though, before pulling the plug.
