Okay, this is getting demoted when your bestie gets a boyfriend part two. There are a few things I want to cover in this video, but just Gail changed my whole mindset with this concept. And I know that you guys know what I meant in the first video by putting someone number one. But in watching it back, I'm like that phrasing doesn't even totally make sense. I think the key so that you never even encounter this situation is whether you're single or in a relationship, you stay number one. Too often people get in a relationship and then put their partner number one. Unless, and I'm not that unrealistic, I even said this in a comment on the first video, it's easy for me to say prioritize everyone in your life equally when I am not in love with someone and building a life with them. I fully understand that relationships come with sacrifice, compromise, the blending of families, time and energy while working while trying to take care of yourself. A relationship, a partnership is demanding. That's probably why I fear it a little bit. But what I'm talking about in the first video specifically, I have my notes because I don't want what I said to be misconstrued especially for some of my friends who are watching. What I'm talking about is two single girls who are single to get there and then one gets a boyfriend gay, but leaves the other or others in the dust. That is a really isolating feeling for the single friend or friends that I don't think we openly talk about enough because it comes across that you're like the bitter single friend, especially once you hit your mid 20s, it feels uncomfortable as the single friend to turn to your friend who's in a new relationship and say, "Hey, I don't think you're prioritizing me correctly. You're not spending your time wisely. She's a grown woman. She can decide who and what she wants to prioritize." I know there's a lot of backlash surrounding the Let Them Theory, but I think this is an example where once you're old enough, people know what they're doing. People know that they're spending a lot of time with their boyfriend. You don't have to tell them. And while friendships go both ways, I think the friend who gets a boyfriend is in a unique position to be cognizant of the girls that she was in the trenches with and that they're still there holding it down. I have written here she doesn't have to feel guilty about getting out of the trenches, but she should be aware, conscientious, and empathetic. If you made it this far in the video, you get a little treat, which is this happened to me and one of my closest friends. And now we are no longer friends. And I put in a lot of effort when she first got into her relationship and she just like left me in the fucking dust. So this subject is definitely coming from the heart.
