Pussy Whipped/Dick Whipped People

Before I get started, I want to admit that I am not the best at hanging out with my friends on a consistent basis. With work and the gym, I don't feel like going out a lot. With that being said... 

How many times have you seen a friend of yours begin dating someone, and then that person literally disappears off the face of the earth for months? This shit happens all the time. When people find attention and start dating, they cling to it, and it's not a bad thing-that's just human nature. I want to make something clear though; if you can't figure out balance in your relationship, and you blow off your friends, don't be surprised if they realize this. Once your 'friends' realize your true priorities, they will recognize where they stand with you. So, (sorry to sound cynical) but when your 'perfect relationship' goes in the shitter for whatever reason, don't look around perplexed like you expect your friends to be there to catch you. 

Don't get me wrong, in some instances people just need a learning experience and then in their future relationships they realize what they need to change (balance). In my first (and only) very serious relationship I wasn't the best at monopolizing my time and spending equal time with my friends. I still did things with friends pretty often, but I could have done a better job. I just want people to realize the message they send when they crawl up a significant other's ass for a few months or a year. I am not sympathetic for these people. They become single, and then it's a fuckin panic attack like 'holy shit' I gotta go hang out with my 'friends' I haven't seen in months. My thinking during this is 'oh well, I am not going to change up my routine to make you feel better'. I'm not going to justify your dumb ass decisions, help you manage your problems, or wipe your ass for you. 

Sorry if this seems harsh, but I am a very loyal person. Once the loyalty is compromised, there's no going back. I just cut out the cancer (for lack of a better word) from my life and move on. Life's too short to waste it on people who act like this. Too many times people have this leash on their dick during their relationship, and then they get bitter towards their 'friends' after the infatuation/relationship is concluded.
