Well? I'm looking to learn as MUCH as possible from my past relationship so I can do better in my next one, so help me out with this. My ex and I were awesome and knew we'd spend our lives together (young love awww). Anyway, she went to college and lots of her friends down there are always talking about how she should experience more and that she hasn't lived etc; basically trying to make me out to be the guy that restricted her from doing things. I KNOW this has contributed to her pushing away from me... For example, this is her roomates away msg right now:

"my friend told me the biggest mistake you can make is to admit your alive when really you're living in life's waiting room...second biggest mistake you can make is to live your life at minimum wage, and then sell your dreams for free...."
- Waking Life

And her roomates profile:
"i'm watching myself act this drama out and i'm faced with the realization that this is not what it's about i pretend that i'm laughing but it's not so funny when it's real and i don't know how i feel and in the process of chasing after you i ran into myself and everything i thought i'd found slowly left, and i know that i loved you too much for my own good, now i'm stuck in this position where i feel less and less for you, i guess our apology was an attempt at polite, we fought all night just to discover that we weren't right for each other and all those things i said i didn't really mean i just needed a reason to scream and all teh stars fell out of the sky all i see is illusion and i don't know why i still second-guess the day i told you goodbye but i can't cry, i won't cry, i lie awake trying to sort out these feelings in my head, i kind of miss you, but i don't miss the things you said..."- Ani Difranco

How do you do when your sig others' friends are a negative influence to your relationship? I gotta learn how to combat this in the future so I don't let it get the best of the next girl that I fall for...
