10 Times Leslie Knope Described What It’s Like to Lose Your Boyfriend to His New Best Friend

1.) When his new friend is around and your boy forgets you even exist

You were just introduced to this new friend of your boyfriend’s but it seems this new guy is around all the time.  Although you want your man to be happy, it’s tough when it feels like there’s no time left for you!

2.) When he hasn’t called and you just need a reminder that you’ll be okay

​This new friend has got you paranoid! Every day that passes where he doesn’t call has you drowning in uncertainty.  Sometimes you just gotta remind yourself that it’s all gonna be okay.  You just gotta hang in there.

3.) When he’s hanging out with his new BFF and you’re feeling a bit desperate

That paranoia we talked about? Well now it’s got you keeping tabs on your boy.  When he says he’ll be home and he isn’t when you stop by.  You start to think there’s something else going on.

4.) He just told you that you’re all going to be hanging out with his BFF and you             need to be prepared, but subtly

While it’s great that he has this new friend, there’s something about him that rubs you the wrong way.  You always come prepared, but discreetly.

5.) Even though his BFF is nice, you’re constantly trying to figure out how he’s               cheating you out of your relationship

You gradually feel yourself being wedged out of the relationship, but, at the same time, you’re pretty sure your boy will choose you over anyone else…you think.  Maybe it’s been his friend’s goal to push you out the whole time? What?

6.) When his new BFF suggests that “just the boys” hang out

Anytime you get left out of plans you can’t help but hold intense bitterness toward his new best friend.

7.) When your boyfriend starts hanging out with his new BFF over you

It started out slow, but now he’s suddenly hanging out with this guy every waking moment.  Where is YOUR time? Who do you call to complain!?

8.) When he breaks up with you because he’s too obsessed with his BFF

Let’s be real.  You denied it all along, but you knew this was coming.  It’s fine though. It’s fine, right?  It’s fine.

9.) When you confront your boyfriend’s BFF about your breakup and he tells you           to “chill”

Real talk once again.  You’re still bitter.  So you confront this new guy.  But when he tells you to “chill,” that’s when you calmly tell him every single thing wrong with everything he’s ever done.  Calmly.

10.) When you’ve taken just about all you can and you’ve decided to be single                 forever

Ovaries before brovaries. Fries before guys.  Sisters before misters.  Whatever it takes to pound it into your head: “BOYS ARE DUMB!”
