I have recently discovered I feel possessive of my old friends. I have a few from primary school days, who I have been through so much with. We have gradually formed our own lives away from each other, but still meet up for the important events. Although I try to keep in closer contact, life gets in the way often. Anyway, when I meet them and I hear them talk about their 'friends' or 'best friend' I get a pang of jealousy. That used to be me! Why aren't I as important in their lives anymore?

Having kids young has certainly been a defining factor for the deterioration of a few of these friendships, but I can't let go. I want to be that person to them again.

I have tried to contact them and see them more often, but we're just in the same life stage so I think it's difficult.

Anyway, is anyone else possessive of their friends? Did you move passed it?

I'm not possessive of my new friends at all or DH, just those I've known for a really long time.
