How do you cope with a friend who hurts and ignores you?

I have this friend. She's amazing. We've always had great times together. I even laughed so much with her one night that I lost my voice the next day. But for the past few months I've been getting ignored by her. To make things worse she keeps promising that we'll hang out on such and such day or that she's going to call me and then I never hear from her again.

I can't keep getting hurt like that. I can't keep having these promises made to me and nothing happens. But I don't want to call it off because I know how amazing the friendship is when it is going good.

I blame the boyfriend. Ever since he came into her life I haven't heard squat from her. I want to be happy for her but how can you share in someone's enjoyment when they are never there?

    You need to find new friends and move on without her. Life is like this. People change, things change. Just cherish the memories and realize it's time for new things. You will have more good memories, just with different people.

    In my opinion, a TRUE friend will never ignore no matter what they're busy with.

    Maybe you should give her a call, saying that you want to speak to her for a while. Talk about old times, talk about something that she likes or anything that could keep the subject going. After talking for, let's say 10-15 minutes, bring up the subject about how you feel lonely without her accompaniment. (try to link this subject with another subject) Express your emotions to her and explain that you're feeling very hurt. If she some how makes false promises again, I'm sorry but I don't know how to help.

    To think of it negatively, she may be just treating you as a substitute friend. When you're laughing genuinely, she may be laughing but deep inside she was just getting bored of you. But please, this is a NEGATIVE thought. If you believe in your friend, please think in a POSITIVE manner.

    well, i wouldn't go blaming a guy that has nothing to do with it. that sort of thing is expected. i have best friends and now that they are in a relationship they don't see a whole lot of their best friends. understandable. thats what their focus is on now. nothing wrong with that, most people want to love and be loved. if she's totally ignoring you after you have tried then you need to stop trying and move on. if the friendship is that strong then you need to be more understanding i would say. let her have the space she needs to develop this relationship she obviously wants. thats what FRIENDSHIP is about. if she is happy back off. she'll come back and be there for you. but she needs time. and as a FRIEND you need to respect that. She is the one that chose to have this boyfriend. in the mean time, hang with some of your other friends, i'm sure they have some qualities you never knew they had. stop and get to know them as much as you know this person.

    well.that's it.......

    she has a boyfriend..so that only means she loves her bf more..

    talk to her..and tell her about your feelings...

    maybe he didnt really meant to hurt or ignore you..its just that her attention is with her boyfriend always..

    anyway..just keep in touch with her..and try to send her a message which can make her realize that you're still there as her friend

    well everyone has a life of there own.. and have their own priorities ...definately she wants to spent most of her time with her boyfriend...

    if she is your friend then why donot you go ahead and call her and take initiative to hang out .. rather then expecting her to call you.. you can invite her bfren along also ...donot blame her boyfriend , it is your friend who is ignoring you not her boyfriend...

    tell her what you really feel. maybe she doesn't know that she's hurting you already, and she has a boyfriend, maybe her attention is all in her boyfriend and she's forgot that she has a friend like u. tell her what you feel. it'll hurt her if she finds out from some one else.
