best friend only wanting to talk about herself
I (26F) am the only married person in my friend group, I married my fiancée after being together 8 years and we have an extremely healthy relationship, so naturally whenever any of my friends want relationship or dating advice they usually come to me. I love being able to help my friends and that they look up to my relationship and want that for themselves. However my best friend since i was in kindergarten also (26F) has got to the point where her toxic relationship is all she wants to talk about. A couple weeks ago my soul dog passed away and I was devastated, my husband fell asleep on his way home from work and wrecked his truck, thank goodness he was okay, but we had to deal with insurance and trying to get it sorted away before we went and look at another, on top of that we’ve been trying for a baby and we’re having a bit of a hard time. So needless to say I was and still am going through it. My best friend and I had to work all week so she called me to check on me and I thought that was very sweet of her. In the middle of me talking about how my dog passed and what led up to it. She interrupted me and completely cut me off and was asking advice about her toxic relationship that we have had the same conversation about probably 100 times. I told her what I always do and that’s that love isn’t supposed to be fought for everyday and that it really should bring you peace, but I can’t lie I was annoyed and kind of cut off the conversation. This isn’t this first time this has happened and I don’t know how to communicate with her that I wish she was interested in what I want to talk about and we don’t always have to talk about her, she’s a defensive person so trying to even just ask her not to do something gives me so much aniexty.
