Friend issue...

[Mary]

Ok, I need some advice on a situation I've been dealing with.
My 'best' friend, whom I've known for eight years has begun to treat me as if I was a stranger to her. I feel like she's ignoring me when I'm around her, and honestly, I can't understand why.
She has been hanging out with this girl from school ( who I can't stand) and I feel like she's purposely trying to make me feel left out when ever she's around. It's almost like she's trying to show off that she has become close friends with someone else whom I'm not friendly with or something ( childish, I know). We still talk but she suddenly never wants to hang out and she never invites me to hang out with people when she goes out, which makes me furious because I was always very aware of her feelings and would always try to include her in things I was doing with other people etc.
Anyway, this has been going on for about 3 months and now when we see each other we behave like we hardly know each other.
So, I need advice. Should I finally confront her about this? Should I just say fuck it and forget our friendship? (she has been less than a friend after all...)
Thanks for taking time to read this --Mary

Since you've known her for so long, I think it's worth a try to have a talk with her about this. If she persists in not including you and not spending time with you, then get rid of her. But I think you should at least let her tell you her side of it.

The same thing happened to me when I was at school. We drifted apart eventually, which was hard because we'd been such good friends for so long. But people change, friends come and go. It's a special few that stand the test of time..
