How many "true" friends do you have in your life?

[scriptfactory]

I don't think this is necessarily true.

Why wouldn't it be true. I'm not saying that certain people don't have 3 or 4 "true" friends. I'm saying that a lot of people think they have true friends but in reality they don't.

One example: Before my girlfriend and I had a child she always hung out with her "true" friend. I asked her if she really trusted her friend in everything. My girlfriend said, "Of course! She is so good to me, blah blah, she would never do anything to hurt me, blah blah..." Well, now that we have a son my girlfriend can't go out and party with her "true" friend like she used to. Needless to say, her friend isn't interested in spending time with us and my girlfriend is always crying to me about how hurt she is, blah blah...

Most people put WAAAAY too much trust in their friends and get hurt. People are people. People change. That doesn't mean they are bad people but I believe a true friend will be there with you through just about anything.

I won't address the first question directly, but I will say I have one true friend. We've known each other 25+ years, went to school together, did everything together.

We got into a very big accident together about 18 years ago and he got hurt really bad. I was supposed to be sitting where he was but we changed our spots in the car. He still has health problems to this day from it. He's always on the verge of passing away from this shit.

He's young, but he's gonna go earlier than he should. Then I'll have zero friends... and he took my spot in the damn car. He has no idea it bothers me so much. Asshole, he's supposed to come solder my baseboard heat today. Never came... Bastard!
