Dear Breakup Girl,

My best friend has been going with this guy for three months and me and her used to do everything together and then they started going together and it was always me, her, her boyfriend, and his friend. I was seeing his friend, even though he had a girlfriend. Well, after a month he decided he didn't like me anymore so my friend and her boyfriend stopped coming around. And she never has time for me and I really miss always being around her. And very seldom, she will have me along but, that's only if her brother is coming with us cause she wants me to go with him but I do not like him and she gets mad cause I won't go with him.What do I do? My mom said I either need to get a new friend or a new man. Please help me.

Dear Jealous,

Listen to your mother.

But focus on the "friend" part. That is, work on the old friend a bit more before you start interviewing new ones for the job. Have you sat her down and told her how you feel? As in, she totally has a right to have a boyfriend, but you really miss her -- can you talk about how to work this out? She is your best friend, after all; she really should listen.

Also, to all girlfriends with spiffy new boyfriends/Leo substitutes: now hear this! Have your boyfriends, but do not dis your sistahs! Boyfriends may or may not last, but friends will -- or not, if you dis them like this.

Love,
Breakup Girl
