[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello. I didn't know where to post so I'll do it here. 
I've been friends with this person about 4-5 years. We are not best friends, just friends from the same city in Europe and now we are here in u US. I'm married, she's single. Why am I saying this is because for the last couple of months she's talking about the guy who is not even her bf, just the guy she is seeing. Of course she thinks she is in love. When she's at my place, she talks about him, when she calls/text, the same story. [b]After every conversation with her I feel like all of my energy is gone. When she's talking I feel  like she's suffocating me. I've been giving her advice for months now, and she doesn't want to break up whatever she has with him. Did you ever feel like somebody is taking all of your energy?[/b] I don't want to sound selfish, but I've tried to help her, I really did. I told her the same that I wrote here. But the story keeps going and I'm really tired. I'm very happy with my life right now, and I'm positive person in general. What's your advice? [/quote]

I have been in this situation.  I stopped being available to talk, and when we did talk, I changed the subject.

It is very hard but really, you can't let her drain you this way.  That is not what a friendship entails.[/quote]
