Boyfriends are forever?

Remember the saying, "Boyfriends come and go, but Friends are Forever"? It doesn't seem to ring a bell in anyone's ear anymore. Since when are boyfriends forever and friends disposable? It used to be girlfriends would stick together like glue and men were interchangeable - not the other way around.

Yet, as time is passing in our young lives, I find myself growing closer with my boyfriend (who is indeed like a husband to me) and falling apart from my close friends, those who were my best friends, who used to shop with me, gossip with me - do everything with me! Now they are with their boyfriends and I am with mine - which is great, everyone's happy in their relationships - but it also means my friends don't exist.

The only time girlfriends call each other now is if there IS a problem in their relationship with their man. Isn't that sad? So next time I hear from one girl, I know she is in a fight - when I hear from another friend I know she's contemplating her future with him - it's always the same!

What happened to calling each other about the new shipment of clothes in our favourite boutique? What happened to gossiping about celebrities, flippin thru the same issue of Vogue with each other on the phone, or meeting up ONLY for a fashion show of our new purchases? What happened to watching TV together, borrowing each others' clothes? Going out for Starbucks? Going out for drinks?

None of this exists because we are all so wrapped up in our significant other's life. We mold our lives around our men. Listen ladies, we need our own lives too, and men LIKE it when we go out with our girlfriends. It takes the pressure off of them.

Now the only time I get to go shopping with a friend is when she's blowing off steam because her BF pissed her off about something - let me tell ya - it's NOT fun shopping with a stress case! Your whining ruins my martini buzz!

I know we're all guilty of it - we get in a fight or our man does something to piss us off, and we vent! Who will listen to us other than our girlfriends? I commend us for that - but I'd still like you to call me when you're HAPPY too.
