    I know how you feel.

    My best friend is going out with my other close friend. That is REALLY annoying.

    She's slowly becoming less attached to him, it's been about 3 or so weeks, and in that time she has been a nightmare. In at least every conversation we had he was mentioned.

    Try tolerating what your friend is doing for a while she (or he) will start to lose interest and the novelty will wear off. The couple will get more comfortable with each other and won't feel they have to give each other their undivided attention.

    Your friend will come back to you, one way or another.

    Don't condemn them for being in a relationship, it's only natural they want to spend time together, sure the ignoring thing is hard but it will go away.

    Good luck, I know it isn't easy.

    I have close friends who stop giving me attentions for other good reasons. Some of them are studying and working in other states and some of them are overseas doing the same things studying and working.

    You know I do have friends (in the loose term of the word) that do that very thing. They were always sooo busy when the new partner was around but expected me to pick up with them again when they were single. Go and find some new friends real friends should not treat you that way.

    Those stages are hard for a friend but as soon as they feel comfortable to call you again, the will. Since you are a good friend, you will have the knowledge to understand them and be patient.

    All are pals and human beings.... Theres not something distinction between touch and genuine pals... each and every pals we meet as a Stranger and then we get to be attentive to... would not matter even if if its on line or genuine... All are same ;) a minimum of internet pals are extra sympathy on us than the pals in genuine existence..
