Friends?

[OutOfOrder]

Hey, I have this friend who is really close to me. We do a lot of things together and even hug and play around a little (not sexually, but like wrestling playfully). He knows that I have a girlfriend, but I haven't really changed much and still spend a lot of time with him too. He also recently got a girlfriend, but he has basically stopped spending time with me and is just spending time with her. They aren't physical at all with each other, and they don't really see each other that often, but he still says he doesn't have much time for me anymore. I'm getting a little angry at him because of this. I think it's mainly because he isn't spending enough time with me anymore and the reason isn't because he is spending more time with his girlfriend (that reason would be acceptable to me), but I think it's because of something else... Is this normal? Has anyone else been in the same situation? How do you solve this?

Ihave been in similar situations, and we either completly stopped talking and basically ignored one another. Others we talked it out and got even closer. If you dont want to lose him as your bestfriend then i would suggest you talk it out

I have the same prob MANY times. you should tlk it out. I also understand that it may be difficult to act concerned or emotional around a guy but if he is your fren, he will understand.

Yes, it is normal for a girlfriend to get in the way of a friendship. If you really want to know why, you should sit down with him and talk it all out. Good luck. :)

Just talk to him about it, it may be awkward but you actually may be closer by the end of it. Usually the best solution for anything between friends is to just talk, it works great.
Also remind him of the standard rule!:BROS BEFORE HOES(substitute for less derogatory term) Best rule ever. Period.

I definitely like what people have said so far. Talk. Talking to him will make it better, and bring you closer. This mystique that talking to your friends about your feelings is some social taboo is really unfortunate because honestly everyone appreciates getting their feelings on the table. Don't pressure him into saying more than he wants to, but ya sit down and say listen man, what happened? We use to chill so often and now we don't, do you have an issue with me? He'll sense your vulnerability and likely respond sympathetically, if he pushes you away, you can then leave the friendship knowing, at least, that you did everything you could.

Sometimes people end up growing apart. I don't know if this is the case but that's part of growing up. I have a friend who I considered close but we sort of went our separate ways as far as being close, we're still friends but we're as close as we use to be.
