What do you do when you have a best friend and a boyfriend who both want to spend every second of the day with you?

My best friend is in my halls at uni and my boyfriend lives in a flat 10 mins away (also goes to my uni). They both want to spend every second with me and I'm feeling so stressed, my best friend is acting moody with me because I went to London with my bf on Saturday and only just came back today. (But he was ill so he had to be near his family and I didn't wanna leave him!).

When I got back to uni today my boyfriend also went back to his flat but literally 2 hours later came back to mine (he insisted). My bestfriend blocked me on snap maps I'm pretty sure. We're still meeting tomorrow but she got pissy when I met up with my boyfriend again tonight.

I'm really extremely close with them both.
UGHHHH

It's going to continue to be rough, until one of them realizes that they are asking too much.

Problem is, typically the friends take a back seat when a relationship starts, but friends will be there when the relationship fizzles.

You may need to have a small talk with your friend - and your bf, because he should also be aware of the stress you're under.

You're an adult. With your own life to lead.
As are they !
You need to do what's right for you. Whether that be studying; Socializing; and all the other things you and they need to do !

If one or the other or both can't understand that,then maybe you need to let them both go.

Thank you, that's true. They should both understand ! @Picklebobble2

@Itsprincess and they should appreciate the fact that you're so level headed about it !
Your bestie knows, if you marry this guy, she isn't going to see you much anymore, the thread is getting thinner. Trying to hang on.

@UreBesFrend really?:/ aw I don't want her to think that!
Ask her about it, see if she loves you, she might.

Your best friend needs to give way to the bf and stop being so needy and selfish.

Make a schedule
From what you’ve written it sounds like she’s being really clingy. You definitely need to at least talk to her about this
