| Also, this is very common. When someone gets into a relationship, their priorites change. They see their friends less and their boyfriends more. In your inconvenient situation, you happen to live in the same house which makes you feel like you're being "ignored" and "used". Which is (sorry to say), probably true.
But even if she had a different boyfriend, you would have not had as many phone calls from her. Nor would you be hanging out with her as often as before. The only good thing to the boyfriend being out of the house is that you would not literally SEE her everyday and so you wouldn't have been REMINDED everyday that she's spending more time with him. One of those "out of sight, out of mind" situations.
I agree with squirrely. And I'd also ask her not to sleep over all the time. Think of a nice way to tell her that you don't think it's very fair that she's using "you" as an excuse to sleep over her boyfriend's house (which is probably the way she's seeing it).
Just keep in mind that it's not anything AGAINST you. It's just that when someone gets a boyfriend or girlfriend, they tend to put that person above others. So when you and her boyfriend are in the same place at the same time (which is ALWAYS in your case), she'll pretty much always stick next to the boyfriend. But it's not that she still doesn't think you're a great person.

PS - Smart move on picking and choosing the secrets you tell her. But on the same token, be prepared for your brother letting her know all your embarressing stories that you may not have already told your friend. Couples love to share the juicy stuff. |
