BFF...Gone When They're Dating, Back When They're Dumped

from The Curious Cocktail Podcast · host The Curious Cocktail

Is it ever healthy for a BFF to ghost, disappear, or completely excommunicate from your life just because they’re in a relationship? We break down the emotional fallout when love takes over loyalty and ask the hard question: Is this just how some people are wired, or is it straight-up friendship betrayal?What happens when your best friend doesn’t just spend less time with you while dating someone new, but completely cuts you off until the relationship ends? In this episode, we dive into a tough friendship dilemma: Is it ever healthy or fair for someone to ghost their best friend whenever they start seeing someone?Take Joe and Tom. Best friends for 9 years, always texting, talking, and hanging out. But the moment Tom meets a new partner, he doesn’t just reprioritize...he vanishes. Zero texts. Zero calls. Zero connection. Then, as soon as the romantic relationship ends, he reappears like nothing happened… until the cycle starts all over again.We unpack this dynamic with opposing viewpoints:One side says you should meet your friend where they’re at and accept what they’re willing to give, even if that means nothing at all and a complete ghosting experience, until they’re single again.The other side challenges whether a total ex-communication and elimination of a best friendship during every romantic relationship is toxic, selfish, and damaging.Is Tom betraying the very definition of what it means to be a best friend? We're talking BEST FRIEND, not friend #27 on your call list. Tune in as we break down the gray areas with raw honesty, real stories, and strong opinions.
