Talking about your girl troubles with your friends is normal, right? So is sharing complaints about a mutual friend. But how about sharing complaints with your girlfriend’s best friend?

That’s right. Tonight my girlfriend’s best friend “fake name” IMed me. We’ve become friends over time. Even though we’ve only met a few times, we’ve gotten to know each other over IM and over the phone. Mostly I give her guy advice.

But tonight I got to talking about the sorry state of my sort-of relationship. I wasn’t expecting her to respond with much. I just needed to vent, and I was hoping that maybe I’d get a little sympathy. But that’s not all I got. All of the sudden, “fake name” starts telling me about all these things she does wrong.

I won’t get into too many specifics. After all, my girlfriend may actually put forth enough effort in our relationship to read this blog. :-/ Let’s just say that neither of us is particularly happy with her coping mechanisms right now.

If she and I were in better communication, I’d be able to express my feelings, get them out in the open, maybe even do something to remedy the situation. But the telephone and Internet situation being what it is while she’s in China, I don’t have the time to let her know how I feel. And I’m afraid she likes it that way.

I’m glad to know that I’m not the only person who’s frustrated with her sometimes.
