Thank you SHelley, deep down my heart i knew this of course. I don't have the idea that I hold her back to get involved with other people.
Another reason for ending this friendship, would be that her boyfriend is extremely jealous. He thinks I want to take her away from him, which has never been my intention. I don't have those feelings for her at all.
Thanks for your great advice,
Jo
Jo,
Just so there's no misunderstanding - I don't think you are holding her back from other friendships. I think she's doing that to herself by keeping the friendship with you when there is very little relationship really there. I find that often people won't develop new friendships that would be more nourishing to them because they are hanging on to old ones that really have run their course. That's why I said it would be a service to her for you to cut what ties you do have so she can give her energy to other people who do want to spend time with her.
Her boyfriend sounds like he's got some real issues, but that's a post for another time.
