I think I'm being selfish

[Natty]

OK, here's the deal, my best friend's bf has gone overseas for a few months, although he might have to come home early coz of his stupid boss, that's not what's worrying me, it's my friend, she's like full on pining for him and is being completly whingy about him and how she misses him blah blah blah, and he only left on Tuesday night I feel like I'm gonna gag if I hear her say something about him again. Like just not on ICQ she's talking about how she talked to him on MSN messanger- that's all good and well, but then he rings her? Like hello? he does realize it's costing a fortune to call a different country, and it's easier just to turn the Internet on? and she's like "well I only spoke to him an hour ago." I feel like I'm going insaine, I don't wanna hear every lil detail, and I know December is a rough time of year for her- but I feel like my still being around isn't enough for her, and I finally thought now that he's gone for awhile I'd finally get to spend some time with her, but when we do all she does is talk about him Am I being selfish? Or over-reacting over nothing?

Hmm...well, it depends on how long the BF's going to be away for. If it's only, say, a month, try to put up with it. If it's several months, say something in a nice way, which I'm certain that you can manage Does that help?

Yeps, I mean he was supposed to be coming back to Aus the day me and my friend left to go to Tasmania (that's the lil island state of Aus, down the bottom of the country) but coz his stupid boss can't find someone to replace him at work, he'll more than likely have to come back early, which is a shame since he hasn't seen his family in more than a year (he comes from India but went to Uni here, but now he's got Australian resendency) I think I'll wait until after the new year to say something, December is a crap month for her, coz her father died in December (same day as her mother's birthday) and she had a grandparent (I think it was) who died on Christmas day, then another relative who got killed in a car accident new years day, but then the following year another relative was killed new years day in a car accident coming home from visiting the grave of the death the previous year. So she's a lil touchy about December and the new year.
