Is it normal that my best friend always puts his gf first and i'm last

Hi my name is Michael and I'm talking about the question I stated. Is it normal that my best friend always puts his gf first and I'm last? Me and my best friend who I'm gonna be calling him C have been friends since we were both in diapers. We hung out all the time until our last two years of high school when he met his girlfriend. Now all he wants to do is hang out with her and always be with her. I understand its a relationship but don't they have at least time apart for friends? She constanly always has him with her so much I can never hang out with him just for a boys night. Last night I called and asked if he wanted to go out with some friends but instead he was with his girlfriend as usual. He never seems fazed by it and gets irritated when we ask him why are you always with her day and night. I know couples can be together and all that but at least one night for the boys. That dude is my boy and I don't want our friendship to fall apart from some girl. Is it normal?

    When you get a girlfriend, no one else matters. Your needs of affection and attention are satisfied; why go to someone else who doesn't share the same level of intimacy as your partner?

    I don't mean to sound like an asshole, but it's the truth for a lot of people. Your friend no longer values your friendship enough to hang out with you, so it's better to part ways with him.

    The company of a male friend barely compares to the company of a beloved woman.

    Sometimes when you find someone special to you, you get all your socialization needs from them and don't really need another's company.

    Not all people are end up like that, but there's still a good amount who are satisfied to that extent.

    If you haven't figured out by now that girls are much more "entertaining" you must be really young.

    I dislike saying this, but you're going to have to let this friendship go. From what you describe he clearly does not know how to make time for friends and he prefers the girlfriend over having a best friend. Heck, at this point the girlfriend IS the best friend. Forget about him and find a new friend.

  • I apologize if this sounds harsh and I am in no way trying to offend you, but your friend is doing the right thing by putting his girlfriend first. You said you hung out all the time until the last two years of high school when he met his girlfriend so I'm guessing they've been together about two years, which means they're in a serious relationship and often, a man won't go out for a boys' night if his girl isn't comfortable with it. Also, you have to remember that you're friend is now at the age where most people meet someone, settle down, and start getting serious about relationships and life. Its a natural part of growing up and you as his friend need to respect that, whether you are ready for the changes he's choosing to make or not. Trust me, as someone who's 19 and been with my boyfriend for a year now, despite his friends (or former friends) hating me for taking up most of his time, I can tell you it doesn't feel nice when people resent you just for wanting a relationship where your boyfriend puts you first. You need to come to terms with the fact that your friend is probably inlove with this girl, and judging by the fact that he choses to put her first before going out and doing his own thing, he sounds like a decent person. Please don't make your friend or his girlfriend feel bad for them just wanting to be happy. I know its difficult but you need to be mature about this and one day when you find a girl you're serious about, I bet you won't be as interested in things like boys' nights or going out without her anymore, trust me. Remember that girl he's with is probably going to be his wife and one day the mother of his children and investing his time into the women who's going to be his partner for life is the right thing to do. I hope I've actually helped more than I've offended you and believe me when I say, your friend is NOT spending all his time with his girlfriend because he's lost interest in you as a friend, he's simply doing what any good man does, and rise to the occasion when he meets a girl who makes him want to settle down and be serious.

      But don't you think that he should be spending time with his best friend too? I mean I'm a girl and I think that you should spent an equal amount of time with your bf and your friends

  • Or perhaps you don't have a boyfriend and have never been inlove and don't know how good it feels to be put before your boyfriends friends because you know that he actually cares about you more than he does about himself? Who knows, I know that every happy relationship I've seen including my own doesn't involve the guy telling his girlfriend 'okay, its time for me to obey my duties as a friend and go spend time with them when I could be spending time with you seing as you're the one who shares my feelings and my bed and my life'.. Seriously.

  • Grumpycowpyjamas, my phone doesn't let my click reply so I'm sorry to have to reply in a comment and I'm hoping you get to see it but, I disagree with your opinion. I think if you read my entire comment thouroughly you would have seen that I explained every possible reason as to why his friend is spending all his time with his girlfriend and why I believe that is OK. Besides, who's choice is it who his friend spends his time with anyway? Last time I checked, spending time with your friends wasn't an obligation. People spend time with whoever they feel like they want to be around the most, and that's what's happening here. You're entitle to your opinion and I think its great you have such a relaxed relationship in terms of you being okay with your boyfriend spending lots of time with his friends so good for you, but not everyone wants to devide what little free time they have, between their girlfriend and their friends. Naturally the one you're inlove with is going to come first. Maybe this guy's friend studies or works most of his time in the day and what little time he has left he would like to spend with his girlfriend and care for his relationship. If a friend can't be happy for a friend who's inlove, then they weren't a friend to begin with. Do you see married men seing their friends all the time? Because I don't. Not the ones who are happily married anyway.

    I'm guessing you've never been in love. Probably never had a gf as well.
    Yep, your best friend has found a playmate that's more fun than you are and you are just going to have to get used to it, or go sit in the corner and cry your little, jealous eyes out.
    You can't hold a candle to what she can offer him; you must understand that. Going out drinking with you and the guys, or hanging out cuddling and being intimate with a beautiful girl? YOU lose; get over it.
    You should be happy for your friend's happiness, not moping around like a spoiled child. Go find a girl of your own.

    Well, that also happened to me a while ago. I had my best friend, it was always just me and her for everything. and suddenly she started a relationship and I was left "alone". I was really feeling alone and sad, but I had to find other friends and I started spending time with my other friends that were not so close as much as her. It was difficult, and even now I really miss her sometimes, and the times we have spent.
    Currently, she and her boyfriend are no longer together. Their relationship lasted 1,5 years. But during those 1,5 years, we fall apart from each other. Also we went in different classes (that's what we drifted more). We keep talking now, but it's not the same thing, because we have a different cycle of friends and so.
    I think you should not get away from him, but you can spend time with your other friends. Talk to him. Maybe if you explain what you're feeling and show that you are afraid of lost him as friend, he will try to split the time between both. Actually, I don't blame him.. that's normal and, in fact, I have also kinda done the same, even after what I went through. (although I do not have a best friend, I had only one group of friends). I know how it's difficult to combine friends and boyfriend, and still have my time alone. :)
