You wish that your best friends could understand and share your happiness. However, it always turns out that they feel neglected. This is just what I got from my own experience.I fell in love with a boy the second semester of my freshman year. I was so involved in my sweetness and never realized that my roommate, who had been my best friend since the beginning of college, was beginning to feel unhappy. She didnt treat me as warmly as before. We used to do everything together. But now, our lives seemed miles apart.

She told me that she was never against my having a boyfriend, but that she didnt want to be ignored. She complained that I never introduced my boyfriend to her, which made her feel unimportant.Your friends are people who will always support you and be with you, so I suggest you try to bring your partner into your circle of friends.

The score came two months later, and it was an impressive 225, ranking me in the 99th percentile.
