: I recently graduated from high school. My two best friends are each going to
seperate colleges from me, them a little south of here, me, in my hometown, and
are leaving in about a week or two. In a wonderful twist of fate, they both sprouted
girlfriends, and as they are leaving soon, want to spend time with those most
important to them... their girlfriends. Should I then, feel pissed off that two guys I've
known for seven years are overlooking me in favor of girls they've known for six
months? I mean, should I also feel good about them having girlfriends? I mean, i
want them to be happy, so if they are happy, should I be happy? In addition, what
should I do to remedy this situation, to make myself feel better about it all?
Vent, and then move on. Pussy rules, man - you're never gonna beat it. Just
accept that the good times of high school are now over, and go make yourself some
nice, new collegiate friends.

Welcome to adulthood, my friend.
Here's the deal: as a married man, I don't spend a lot of time with my friends
anymore; I spend most of my time with the wife and kid. But when I do make the
time to chill with my boys, we enjoy the hell out of ourselves and each other -
moreso than we would if we were hanging out everyday. And that's the way it
should be, really.
