In a pickle...advice?

[Elle_Dorado]

So one of my best friends is currently mad at me, We've been friends for over a year now and this is our first official "fight". Ok so this is the situation- I was hanging out with her at her house when all of a sudden, the guy I'm seeing came online and asked me to go hang out with him, so I did. We hardly ever get to see each other because our schedules are so conflicting. My friend doesn't care that I left her, but she is disappointed with me because I always say that I want to change (I am behind in my schoolwork because I always go out to drink/party or hang out with friends). I understand why she is mad, I really do, but I just wish she would see it from my point of view, I can't just up and quit my drinking- it's an addiction and this one particular guy, I really care about. Anyways, I know she has a right to be mad with me, but I just wish we could resolve it. I would really like for us to be on good terms again. Any suggestions???

Maybe give her some time to cool off and give your perspective to her. Maybe ask her for advice as well.

I think you should speak to her and explain how you're feeling, and why you do what you do. Tell her that you left her to see your boyfriend because you don't have the time to see him usually. And tell her about your schedule and how difficult it is to control it. I'm sure she will understand and support you, you just need to tell her how it is for you.

Take care.
