For 20+ YEARS our best friend were 2 Leos, husband and wife.
We had worry-free life and giggles all the way.
She was my best support in times of my hysterics about anything.
Because when I was falling out - she would say something funny
and I would feel better about situation I was in.

Then we had opened business and couldn't have fun with them anymore.
No parties, no vacations...6 years of almost no contact.

When she was inviting me to their parties I couldn't even speak because
I was exhausted and when I was trying to explain WHY - she would not
show me any compassion. She left me a message once (drunk) that I was
pathetic and I can go f myself because she is fed up. With what I don't know...

I was upset and took conversations to minimal.

Thinking about it for a while I had realized that she is the best friend to party
with but when it comes to understanding of friend's problem she is not so
good at it. It is like 'everyone has its own issues'...

I am thinking if it has to do with being a Leo or just her own personality
not based on zodiac.

She is August, 17...I am May, 26.

Today she called me drunk and started to tell me how I am supposed to
live (change the job because she sees me in the office and not a home aid).
I was pretty tired and told her off. She apologized profusely and at the end
started to remind me of how I was crying trying to explain it to her that I
can't party because I am tired...I hanged up on her. But I am fuming.

I am working split shifts from 8am to 9 pm and still can't party!
And she has plenty of friends...just venting.
Anything you think about it - just vent back. I am all ears.
Thanks

Im sorry you feel that way op. I dont think you understand what your Leo friend is doing. Leos are known for TOUGH love. When we love someone we want the BEST for them, sometimes it comes off as "bossy" but we have good intentions. She saw that you were really tired at the party and later she suggested why dont you get a new job? Is that bad? I know you wanted to vent but Leos dont do pity parties, if you want to complain about something in your life we expect for you to FIX it, i guess because we are a fire sign we are all action.
I have this problem with my friends too, its hard for me to sit there and watch a friend of mine just sit there and sulk and complain and complain and then they do NOTHING to change it. Her harsh approach is just tough love.

Tough love and no potty parties?
Well if I am sick - don't tell her?
lol smart ass, if you're sick she will bring you soup and try to make you laugh and feel better. NOW if you're sick on the couch for two weeks and haven't gone to the doctors then she will question why you haven't done anything about it and she might just let u sit on that couch for a while...alone.

See, I withdrew to not to complain because I figured she is not the type to listen,
however she is calling and asking me how am I doing. So in order to not to
bother her Leo in her I don't even want to say anything. I am trying to change the
subject. When she is insisiting on meeting I am explaining that it is not a party time
for me and she gets mad because 'I am complaining'...and I AM NOT!

So...just still pissed a bit. Thanks to all
