friends help: my best friend refuses to let me have a happy relationship, how do i tell her i can’t be her side kick forever? - Help.com

Then you shouldnt have said you were her best friend, because best friends are supposed to be there for each other.

But she cant stop you form being happy, she eeds to respect and accept how you feel.

i’m sorry that’s rough. have you tried talking to her and asking her why she has a problem with you having a bf or gf? Maybe let her/him know that even if you have a bf or gf you’ll always make time for her/him as well?

Tell her that you cant control my life snice its mine, tell her how you feel. My best friends the same way if shes down or happy i have to be there for her but if its me she thinks she dosent have to listen to me. I told her and shes learing that if she wants to lose me as a friend then she colud keep doin what shes doing but, if dosent want to lose me then she should just calm down and face it. So just tell her your feellngs if she wants you as a bestfriend shell understand.

Exactly the way you have just told us.
Tell her… I can’t be your sidekick forever.

And what do mean… she won’t LET you have a happy relationship?
What is she your mother????

she puts herself in the middle of everything and pushs my boyfriends away from me by telling them lies because she is afraid i will move away

I’m sorry to say that you need a new best friend!
A girl I was going out with a few years ago had the same thing happen to her.

We broke up because of this ‘best friend’!

She married the next guy she dated.

I never quite fully got over it!

Tell the best friend to shape up, or you will leave her!
