Ok my ex best friend Shantel lied to me and said that my friend Bria was talking about me. I asked Bria if she was talking about me, and she said no. She looked me dead in the eyes without laughing or lying and said no (not many people are able to do that). Shantel also talks about her boyfriend La Derrion (pronounced La-dare-ee-on) all the time. Did she ever consider the fact that we made a pact not to have boyfriends until we were 16 (that means three more years for me). She always brags about him. So today I told her that I wasn't going to be her friend anymore. Am I wrong or right?
Hmmm this has happened to me with all my freinds and I`m good at advice giving cause it`s alwys them asking for it.So she keeps going on about her mirculous boyfriend?Well let her just stand there letting it wash over you.And nod at regular intervals or sigh to show she is boring you absouloutley to death. :)

well first off, you asked wrong or right and put yes or no as answers....
....things like this happen all the time...that means what? your 13?
"breaking up a friendship" happens to nearly everyone, it never happens. if you are that good of friends with her then you can get through one event. have you tried talking to her? maybe...i dont know, for her to stop talking about him to you? it seems by your story that you two just need to talk about whats going on and see how it goes from there.

Oh how I remember these days. From my experience, the best thing for you to do is to get Bria and Shantel together, and confront both of them at the same time. Tell them you dont want any of the three of you talking behind each others backs, and tell Bria what Shantel told you, while Shantel is standing there. The truth will come out.
As far as ending your friendship because she talks about her boyfriend - that's a tough call. It's easy to make that promise/pact when you dont have a boyfriend. But as soon as the guy you like shows interest in you, you'll be backtracking on that promise as well, and I guarantee it will be within the next three years. I think you should give her a break - its her first boyfriend, and she wants to talk about him. As annoying as it may be, you will understand where she's coming from when you experience the same thing. Besides, if things dont work out, she's going to need you to be there for her.

As said before, I'd definitely get them both in the same room to talk about it. If one of them is lying, it will be apparent.
I don't think you should end your friendship just because your friend talks about her boyfriend all of the time. If you really care that much about each other, listening to her go on and on and on and on about stuff you're not interested in shouldn't be a big deal. My best friend talks about her boyfriend allllllll theeeee timeeeee. I sit there like this: :duh: :zzz: :dead:

sounds like you were a drastic. maybe you friend is jealous of your friendship with bria and tried to spilt you guys up? that happened to me when i was at school. the whole "no boyfriend" thing doesnt always work. when i was about 13 boyfriends were fun to have. i dont think its fair to cut out a friend because she likes a guy - its all about growing up. also, bragging about it all the time will continue all through your life. girls sometimes obsess over guys!!! life is too short to break friends because you will always make friends again. also, your friend probly feels really bad about you not talking to her, its not worth it...really :)
