My friend is full of drama. we have been friends for about 6 years and the last three years with her has been hell.

It is always something. I never get a word in edge wise, it's always about her, what she is doing who she is doing this week, her kids, her job...blah blah blah. Never is she happy, and even had the audacity to tell me "you don't have problems, you have a boyfriend." I let her know right quick, having a bf doesn't automatically solve all problems.

I think it boils down to jealousy. Which is ridiclous. She had a bf for 3 years and I never was jealous. I just don't know what to do. I'm thinking time to cut the strings, I basically don't trust her becasue of an conflict we had a few months ago, she lied and went out with a lying, cheating ex. But, I tried to move on, but, I'm at my wits end, and it's gotten to where i dread seeing her number come up on my phone

What do I do? Open to all and any suggestions???!!!

You need more drama of your own, so you can interrupt her stories with your own. Maybe you should track down all her exes, sleep with them, and tell her all about it!

Even better, cut ties with her and find some enjoyable friends.

Dude, I'm thinking you're on the money. But, I try not to make rash decisions....I'm just tired of feeling all down and out after talking to her EVERYTIME!

You can either confront her and tell her your concerns, or just terminate the friendship if it's causing you this much grief. Why spend time with someone if every time they open their mouth you get a knot in your stomach?

One thing I've learned about "drama queens" is that they are often the most insecure people around. When I think about that I react differently to them and some of the drama goes away. Other people just need to vent to get things out and that's something you have to learn to live with if the friendship is important. I don't take it personally and I'm a good listener.

can you change your number? Maybe you could start asking her to do some favours for you, that usually drives people away....or you could tell her you need to borrow a large sum of money, if that doesn't work, like you said...cut the strings....no-one needs unnecessary grief in their lives.....good luck
