After months and months of waiting around for someone, besides yourself, to finally like your best friend, your best friend now has a boyfriend. After this happens, you experience a rush of emotions. Screaming in excitement, followed by screaming at the realization that you now have to share your bff. Here are five of the emotions I have experienced through my best friend's surprising change in relationship status.
1. You are both excited because all of your work has paid off.
We all know it is one of the greatest feelings ever to start talking to someone, having no idea where the relationship will go, but hoping it will go smoothly. Especially when it is your best friend (who you absolutely had decided was destined to be forever alone, especially with her track record). Now, instead of gossiping about first dates, you are suddenly having serious conversations about her boyfriend.
2. You are nervous because this is all new and you have never had to share your best friend seriously.
We are at an age where relationships are becoming serious. So when your best friend finally gets a real boyfriend, you do not know what is going to happen. You have never had to share her with anyone and especially not with someone who actually wants to spend copious amounts of time with her. Plus, do you even really know this guy? Will he hurt your best friend? Will you have to take care of him?
3. Alright, I am over this. I want my best friend back.
Suddenly, Friday nights are not for sleep overs and gossip. Now when you need outfit advice you can not just bring out all your options and change in your room because suddenly, he is always there--and apparently it is frowned upon the change in front of him.
4. Lonely because you do not know what to do without her by your side 24/7 and boyfriend does not like to share.
Binge-watching "Grey's Anatomy" and eating all sorts of foods that should not go together is not the same without your best friend by your side. Now, instead of randomly telling her you are coming over, you have to make plans beforehand and sometimes other things come up and the plans fall through.
5. Relieved because you thought you would be the only one who had to deal with her annoying whiny days for the rest of your life.
It definitely sucks having to share her now, but it is nice to know that you were not right and that you, in fact, would not be the only one to love her when it is 2 a.m. and she is crying because she has convinced herself that you do not love her anymore and that you will not be best friends forever. Now, when she is whiny and annoying there is someone else to deal with her and you can take turns.
